Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2019
618. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when an illness benefit application by a person (detail supplied) in County Kerry will be processed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2359/19]
View answerThe Occupational Injury Benefit claim from the person concerned has been processed and all arrears owing to him have issued.
The claim is both medically certified and up to the 11th January 2019.
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.
