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 concerned has been awarded IP with effect from 5 October 2023 and received first payment to his nominated bank account on 4 January 2024. He received all arrears due from 5 October 2023 to his account on 11 January 2024. The person in question was notified of this decision on 21 December 2023.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
