250. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will address a matter regarding the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2092/19]
View answerThe Department administers the Illness Benefit scheme to those customers who cannot work because they are sick or ill provided they are covered by the appropriate class of social insurance (PRSI) and satisfy the PRSI conditions.
The Illness Benefit claim from the person concerned is both paid and medically certified up to the 15th January 2019.
Payment is due to reach the customers bank account on Tuesday each week provided she has been medically certified for the period by her Doctor.
I hope trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
