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

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is paid to date. She is certified to 14th November 2018.

If she remains ill and unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be sent to the Department as soon as possible to ensure further payments can issue.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
