The person concerned was advised by letter dated 14 January 2019 that she was not entitled to payment of Illness Benefit as she does not satisfy all of the contribution conditions.
In order to qualify for an illness benefit payment, a claimant must have 104 total PRSI contributions paid since entering insurable employment. According to the Department's records, the person concerned has 99 paid contributions.
If the person concerned believes she has further contributions that are not reflected in the Department's records, she should supply the Department with evidence of this from her employer and her entitlement to Illness Benefit will be reviewed.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
