Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 November 2018
235. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an illness benefit payment for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50044/18]
View answerThe letter received by the person concerned dated the 8th November 2018 regarding Illness Benefit inadvertently issued and can be ignored. The Department apologises for any confusion this may have caused.
The person concerned was paid Invalidity Pension up to 12/9/18. She has returned to work. An entitlement to Partial Capacity Benefit has been considered, and a Deciding Officer determined that the person concerned does not have an entitlement to Partial Capacity Benefit. A letter advising her of this, and her right of appeal, issued to her on 21st November 2018.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
