Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 September 2021
669. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an application for an invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41891/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraInvalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and for no other reason and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
A claim for IP was received from the person concerned on 26 July 2021. In order to establish medical suitability two forms were sent to her on 28 July 2021. On receipt of the completed forms, the IP claim will be processed as quickly as possible and she will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
