Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2018
639. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) has not received an illness benefit payment due since 8 October 2018; when payment will be restored; when the arrears will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50080/18]
View answerThe Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is paid up to the 1st December 2018 and all arrears owing to her have been issued.
If the person concerned remains ill and unfit for work after the 1st December 2018, further medical certificates should be submitted to the Department for payments to issue after this date.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
