1226. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection when an illness benefit or appropriate payment is likely to issue in the case of a person (details supplied) who was in a car accident on 3 April 2022 and who has received no payment since 7 May; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The person concerned made an application for Illness Benefit from the 7th May 2022. This claim has been awarded at a rate of €162.90 per week and arrears have issued to him paying him in full up to date.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
