Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 November 2018
551. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for illness benefit by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48890/18]
View answerThe person concerned had an Occupational Injury Benefit (OIB) claim for period 3rd September 2018 to 20th October 2018 which was paid up to the final certificate date.
Further medical certificates covering the period 12th November 2018 to the 25th November 2018 were received but no application claim form (IB1) was received.
An IB1 application form has been issued to the person concerned and when this is returned his new OIB claim will be processed and any arrears due will be issued.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
