Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
582. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the steps she will take to ensure that a person (details supplied) will receive the correct and appropriate rate of illness benefit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47185/18]
View answerThe Illness Benefit (IB) claim for the person concerned is now paid up until 17th November 2018 and any arrears due have been processed.
IB is paid for a maximum of 2 years (624 paid days). The person concerned has already been paid for 622 days so she only has two days of payment remaining.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
