Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is awarded and in payment. He was medically certified to 1st November 2018 and is paid to that date.

If he remains ill and unable to work, he should forward a further medical certificate to the Department as soon as possible to ensure that any payments due may issue.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
