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.
The department received a claim for IP for the gentleman concerned on 06 February 2018. His claim was disallowed on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. He was notified on the 06 July 2018 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review or appeal.
The person concerned requested a review of this decision and following a review of all the information available to the Department it was decided that there was no change to the original decision. He was notified on 02 November 2018 of the outcome of the review.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
