1072. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection to set out the status of an application by a person (details supplied); the reason for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45152/18]
View answerThe Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned has now been processed and any arrears owing to him has been issued.
He is currently certified up to 14th November. If he remains ill and unfit for work after that date, he should submit further medical certificates to the Department to ensure that payments can continue to be made to him.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
