Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

The lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 10 November 2016. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 16 March 2017. Any arrears due from 10 November 2016 to 15 March 2017 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 1 March 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
