Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
1063. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason the payment of illness benefit in the case of a person (details supplied) has been stopped; when a payment will be issued including arrears due; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45054/18]
View answerThe Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned has been awarded and all arrears owing to her have been issued.
She is currently certified to 7th November 2018 and her payments are up to date. If she remains unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be forwarded to the Department as soon as possible so that any further payments due can issue.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
