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.

A claim for IP was received from the gentleman concerned on 12 November 2020. In order to assist with the assessment of the person’s medical eligibility for IP, two forms for completion issued to him on the 23 November 2020. On receipt of the completed forms, the IP 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.
