Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2023
338. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide an update on an application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5477/23]
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 Department received a claim for IP for the person referred to on 09 September 2022. The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme are not satisfied. Notification issued to the person concerned on 05 January 2023 informing him of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal. No request for a review or appeal of this decision has been received.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
