1112. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an invalidity application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9052/20]

The lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 30 April 2020.  Payment will issue to her nominated post office on 04 June 2020 .  Any arrears due from 30 April 2020 to 03 June 2020 will issue as soon as possible.  The lady in question was notified of this decision on 28 May 2020.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
