There was a delay in processing the Enhanced Illness Benefit claim from the person concerned as it overlapped with payment she received of Jobseeker's Benefit. The monetary difference between the associated claim payment and her Enhanced Illness Benefit entitlement needed to be calculated before any payments due to her could issue.
Her Enhanced Illness Benefit claim has now been awarded, and a payment of €259.40 has issued to her paying her for the duration of her medical certificate.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
