The person concerned does not satisfy the social insurance (PRSI) conditions for the award of Illness Benefit as self-employed contributions are not reckonable for this scheme. If he is experiencing urgent financial difficulty, he should contact the Community Welfare Service though his local Intreo Centre.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
