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 person referred to was refused IP on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme are not satisfied.  Notification of the decision issued to her on 05 January 2022 informing her of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal.

Your representation will be treated as a review request from the person in question. If the person concerned has any further medical evidence relevant to her application, she should submit it immediately.  Otherwise her claim can only be reviewed on the information already provided.  The person concerned will be notified of the outcome of the review as soon as it is completed

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
