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 the gentleman concerned on 01 March 2019. His claim was disallowed on the grounds that the contribution conditions for the scheme were not satisfied.He was notified on 20 May 2019 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
