asked the Minister for Social Welfare if she will arrange for the immediate payment of disability benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon.
The person concerned claimed occupational injury benefit from 10 September 1981 in respect of an accident at work on that date. Pending the outcome of inquiries regarding the nature and origin of his injury, he was paid disability benefit on an interim basis. This benefit issued from 15 September, fourth day of incapacity at the maximum appropriate rate. Payment of all disability benefit and pay-related benefit due has been made to 26 September 1981, after which date he was certified fit to resume work. On completion of inquiries regarding his accident any occupational injury benefit due, less disability benefit already paid, will issue.
