Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 October 2023
418. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on the review of a decision on an invalidity pension application by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42429/23]
View answerAn application for Invalidity Pension (IP) was received from the person concerned on 29 May 2023. Based on the information supplied with this application, they were deemed not medically eligible, in line with the conditions for IP. They were not considered to be permanently incapable of work and notified of this decision on 1 August 2023.
On 17 August 2023, the person concerned requested a review of this decision and supplied additional medical evidence. This review was completed and the person concerned was awarded IP with effect from 1 June 2023. They will receive the first payment to their nominated bank account on 12 October 2023. Any arrears due from 1 June 2023 to 11 October 2023 will issue shortly thereafter. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 22 September 2023.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
