Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 December 2021
101. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for 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. [59556/21]
View answerThe person concerned is in receipt of Illness Benefit at a rate of €203.00 per week.
The person concerned was previously in receipt of an increase for three children on her claim, which made her weekly rate of payment €331.00. This increase was stopped from the 17th September 2021 as the person's spouse began earning over €400 per week. This meant she was no longer eligible for an increase for her children.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
