Invalidity Pension is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the contribution conditions. On 9 December 2010, the person concerned was refused Invalidity Pension on the grounds that he was not considered to be permanently incapable of work, and he has been notified of this decision. Further medical evidence was received which was sent for review on 5 January 2011. This review was unsuccessful and he was notified of this on 7 January 2011.
