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 September 2024 and will receive first payment to her nominated bank account on 24 October 2024. Any arrears due for the period 5 September 2024 to 23 October 2024 will issue shortly after first payment date. The person referred to was notified of this decision on 15 October 2024.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
