1291. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36482/18]

On receipt of additional medical evidence submitted in support of the appeal of the person concerned, a review of the claim was carried out by a deciding officer and she has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 07 December 2017. As a result the appeal is no longer necessary.

Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 20 September 2018. Any arrears due from 07 December 2017 to 19 September 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 31 August 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
