584. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an appeal for invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); when the appeal is likely to conclude; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39396/18]

The person concerned submitted additional medical evidence in support of their invalidity pension (IP) appeal.

Their claim was reviewed by a deciding officer and they have been awarded IP with effect from 22 February 2018.

Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on 11 October 2018. Any arrears due from 22 February 2018 to 10 October 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. He was notified of this decision on 27 September 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
