Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2018
614. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when an invalidity pension file will be referred to the social welfare appeals office in order for a decision to issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47909/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn receipt of additional medical evidence submitted in support of the appeal of the person concerned, a review of the claim was carried out by a deciding officer and she has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 03 May 2018. As a result the appeal is no longer necessary.
Payment issued to her nominated bank account on 15 November 2018. Any arrears due from 03 May 2018 to 14 November 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 31 October 2018.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
