Invalidity Pension is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the contribution conditions.

On 7th January, 2011, the person concerned was refused Invalidity Pension on the grounds that she was not considered to be permanently incapable of work and she has been notified of this decision.
