Invalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and for no other reason and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
The department received a claim for IP for the person concerned on 25 June 2020. She was awarded IP and she was notified on 2 September 2020 of this decision.
Payment issued to her nominated bank account on 10 September 2020. Any arrears due from 25 June 2020 to 9 September 2020 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
