Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2018
605. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when an illness benefit payment will be made available to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41757/18]
View answerMy Department experienced some delays following the introduction of a new system for Illness benefit (IB) which was introduced in August last.
The IB claim from the person concerned has now been processed and she is in receipt of her full IB entitlements and any/all arrears owing to her have been paid.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
