Invalidity 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 pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
The person concerned has been awarded IP with effect from 14 September 2023 and will receive first payment to her nominated bank account on 14 December 2023. Her first payment on 14 December 2023 will also include all arrears due to her from 14 September 2023. The person in question was notified of this decision on 5 December 2023.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
