Question:

577. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a regular payment of illness benefit will issue to a person (details supplied). [47065/18]

Written answers

Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is now certified and paid up until 17th November 2018.

If the customer remains ill and unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be submitted to the Department as soon as possible in order for further payments to issue.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
