The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is now fully paid up to the 24th November 2018 and arrears due have been issued.

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.
