Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 30 August 2018. Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on the 20 September 2018. Any arrears due from 30 August 2018 to 19 September 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The gentleman in question was notified of this decision on the 17 September 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
