The Department administers the Illness Benefit scheme to those customers who cannot work because they are sick or ill provided they are covered by the appropriate class of social insurance (PRSI) and satisfy the PRSI conditions. Unfortunately, no Illness Benefit claim has been received from the person concerned.

An application form (IB1) for Illness Benefit has issued to the person concerned. When that is completed and returned the claim will be processed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
