343. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made in respect of a invalidity pension application (details suppled); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50991/23]
View answerInvalidity Pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and for no other reason and who satisfy the contribution conditions.
The person concerned has been awarded IP with effect from 28 September 2023 and will receive their first payment to their nominated bank account on 30 November 2023. Any arrears due from 28 September 2023 to 29 November 2023 will issue shortly. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 16 November 2023.I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
