Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2022
425. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) in County Clare will receive a decision on their invalidity pension claim; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62223/22]
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.
The person concerned has been awarded IP from 20 October 2022 and first payment will issue on 22 December 2022 by their chosen payment method. Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
