Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Medical Eligibility Criteria for Social Protection Payments: Discussion

1:00 pm

Mr. Tony Kieran:

I would like to make a point in that context. Senator Craughwell spoke about shortening forms. People who have been on illness benefit for a long time are being automatically selected for invalidity pension where certain criteria are fulfilled. They are invited to fill in a much shorter form. We are making those improvements wherever we can and we will continue to do so.
