To ask the Minister for Social Protection if like other State pensions, should invalidity pensions also pay six weeks if the person receiving payment dies. [14979/13]

The social welfare system already provides for continued payment of invalidity pension for 6 weeks after the death of an invalidity pensioner where the deceased claimant was in receipt of an increase for a qualified adult, for a surviving spouse/civil partner/cohabitant.
