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 referred to on 09 August 2021.  The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme are not satisfied.  Notification of the decision issued to the person concerned on 22 September 2021 informing her of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
