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.

An application for IP was received from the person concerned on 24 February 2022. In order to establish medical suitability for IP, two forms issued on 17 May 2022. On receipt of the completed forms, a deciding officer will make a decision on their entitlement to IP and they will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
