2437. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for illness benefit by a person (details supplied); when payment will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32490/18]
View answerThe person concerned applied for illness benefit from September 2011 but apart from the initial medical certificate no further medical evidence was received by my Department. However, my officials have recently been in contact with the applicant to discuss the application and to request further information which the person concerned has undertaken to provide.
Once this additional information is received the application will be processed and the claimant will be advised, in writing, of the outcome.
