Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 February 2019
194. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for an invalidity pension by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8858/19]
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 04 December 2018. This claim was disallowed on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied . He was notified on 18 February 2019 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
