Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 April 2019
574. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the correct level of illness benefit payable in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15459/19]
View answerThe person concerned is currently in receipt of Illness Benefit at a rate of €249 per week. This includes her personal rate of payment of €159 plus increases in respect of her three children (two at the €34.00 rate and one at the €37.00 rate) of €105, less an amount of €15.00 arising from an overpayment on another social welfare scheme.
She is currently paid up to date and she is medically certified as unfit for work until the 19th April 2019.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
