Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 November 2018
226. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a decision has been made on an illness benefit application by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49965/18]
View answerThe Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned has been processed and all arrears owing to her have issued.
The claim is both medically certified and paid up to the 26th November 2018.
If the person concerned 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.
