Invalidity 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.
My department received an application for IP from the person concerned on 28 June 2022. Based on the information supplied, it was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. Notification of the decision issued to the person concerned on 28 September 2022 along with the reasons why the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. This letter also advised of their right to seek a review of this decision or to appeal this decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office. To date no such request has been received. This has been reissued to the person concerned on 13 October 2022.
The social insurance contributions paid by the person referred to from 2018 are as follows:

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
