Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2019
493. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a decision has been reached regarding the date on which the entitlement of a person commenced (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48993/19]
View answerThe Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned has been examined and payment has now been awarded from 25 February 2019, which is the first date she was medically certified as unfit for work.
Payment due from 25 February 2019 to 13 June 2019 has issued and accordingly the person has now been paid the full amount due from 25 February 2019 to date.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
