If a person is on Invalidity Pension at age 66, do they automatically qualify for the state Contributory pension?

What are the Pros & Cons?
 
According to Dept of Social Protection.

When and how do I apply for my pension?
If you are getting Invalidity Pension, you automatically transfer to State pension (contributory) when you are aged 66. The weekly amount of pension you get will increase to the State pension contributory rate.
