Invalidity Pension 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 contribution conditions.

Following a successful appeal, the person concerned has been awarded Invalidity Pension with effect from 3 November 2022 and will receive their first payment to their nominated bank account on 4 April 2024.  Any arrears due from 3 November 2022 to 3 April 2024 will issue shortly.  The person in question was notified of this decision on 19 March 2024.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
