Invalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.

The department received a claim for IP for the person concerned on the 2 September 2015. The claim will be processed as quickly as possible and the person in question will be notified directly of the outcome.
