Invalidity pension for self employed
Invalidity pension for self employed
From 1st December 2017, the invalidity pension has been extended to self employed persons.
Invalidity Pension is a weekly payment to people who cannot work because of a long-term illness or disability and are covered by social insurance (PRSI). At 66, you transfer automatically to the State Pension (Contributory) at the full rate.
Invalidity Pension is taxable. You are entitled to a Free Travel Pass. You may also get extra social welfare benefits, for example, the Household Benefits Package.
The last complete contribution year is the year before the date of claim. For example, if a claim is made for Invalidity Pension in December 2017, the last complete contribution year is 2016 and the second last complete contribution year is 2015.
