Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 June 2019
246. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) has not received payment of an illness benefit claim even though the person received confirmation of being awarded illness benefit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27309/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned is currently in receipt of Supplementary Welfare Allowance at a rate of €223.70 per week.
The Department has received an application for Illness Benefit from the person concerned. He has been sent a form to clarify certain details with respect to his claim. Once the completed form is received, his claim will be processed and any arrears due to him will be issued.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
