Following a review of all the information available it has been established that the lady referred to satisfies the medical conditions for Invalidity Pension (IP). She has been awarded the personal rate of IP with effect from 28 July 2016. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 23 March 2017 and she was notified of this decision on the 06 March 2017.

She has applied for an increase for a qualified adult and a qualified child. Her entitlement to these increases is being assessed and when finalised she will be notified directly of the decision. Any arrears due from 28 July 2016 to 22 March 2017 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
