569. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the position regarding an application for an invalidity pension by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10897/19]

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 from this gentleman on 20 February 2019.

The claim will be processed as quickly as possible and he will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
