Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
1231. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an invalidity pension for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46386/17]
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 gentleman referred to on 3 October 2017. He was refused IP on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. He was notified on the 31 October 2017 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
