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 from the person concerned on 21 November 2023. Her claim was refused on 15 January 2024 on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. The person concerned was notified on 15 January 2024 of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and/or appeal.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
