664. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an invalidity allowance application by a person (details supplied) will be expedited. [10111/20]

The lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 26 March 2020. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 18 June 2020. Any arrears due from 26 March 2020 to 17 June 2020 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue as soon as possible. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 03 June 2020.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
