Invalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
A claim for IP was received from the person concerned on 9 February, 2015. In order to establish medical suitability two medical report forms for completion issued to the person concerned on 12 February, 2015. As the completed medical report forms were not returned to the Department within the given time frame, despite the issue of reminders, the claim was withdrawn as it was assumed that the person in question did not intend to proceed with it.
It is open to the person concerned to make a new application for IP at any time.
