Written answers
The person concerned exhausted her entitlement to Illness Benefit (IB) on 28th April 2018. IB is paid for a maximum of 2 years (624 paid days).
She must have a minimum of 13 reckonable PRSI contributions paid after the date her benefit exhausted to re-qualify for IB and thus re-qualify for Partial Capacity Benefit.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
