Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 January 2023
118. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for an invalidity pension by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3444/23]
View answerInvalidity 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.
An application for IP was received from the person concerned on 20 December 2022. In order to establish his medical suitability for IP, two forms to be completed issued on 19 January 2023. On receipt of the completed forms, a deciding officer will make a decision on his entitlement to IP and he will be notified directly of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
