An application for invalidity pension (IP) was received from the person concerned on 22 January 2021. Her claim has been awarded by a Deciding Officer and backdated six months to 23 July 2020.  Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 25 March 2021.  Any arrears due from 23 July 2020 to 24 March 2021 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course.  The person in question was notified of this decision on 18 March 2021.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
