The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned has been processed and is paid up to the 15th December 2015.

The person concerned claimed Illness Benefit from the 3rd December 2018 but as no payment is made for the first six days of Illness, these are commonly known as waiting days, payment commenced from the 10th December 2018.

The claim is medically certified up to the 13th January 2019.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
