Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
1082. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Social Protection when the illness benefit application by a person (details supplied) will be processed; the reason for the delay in making a decision in this case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29125/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere was a delay in processing the Illness Benefit claim from the person concerned as it overlapped with a payment she received of Supplementary Welfare Allowance. The monetary difference between the associated claim payment and her Illness Benefit entitlement needed to be calculated before any payments due to her could issue.
Her Illness Benefit claim has now been awarded, and she has been fully paid up to date.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
