Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
438. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an invalidity pension application by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27252/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraInvalidity 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.
The department received a claim for IP for the person concerned on 11 July 2016. The person concerned was refused IP on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. She was notified on the 23 September 2016 of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
