Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The person concerned was awarded Invalidity Pension from 20 September 2018.

The payment of Illness Benefit for €34.93 for the person concerned is a two day payment for the dates 18th and 19th September 2018.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
