Invalidity Pension (IP) is payable to an insured person who satisfies certain Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions and who is permanently incapable of work due to an illness or incapacity and for no other reason.
Claimants must have at least 260 (5 years) paid PRSI contributions (class A, E, H or S) since entering social insurance and 48 contributions paid or credited in the last or second last complete contribution year before the relevant date of an IP claim.
To date, there is no record of my Department receiving a claim for IP from the person concerned. Her eligibility for the payment can be determined on receipt of a completed application form.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
