The person concerned is awarded disability allowance (DA) from 17 February 2021.

This person should submit her request to the invalidity pension (INVP) section (Social Welfare Services, Government Buildings, Ballinalee Road, Longford, Co. Longford, N39 E4E0) stating that she wishes to revert back to invalidity pension and attach a letter from her employer confirming the date she ceased employment.

Upon receipt of same, my officials will look to restart her INVP claim.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
