The person concerned made an application for Illness Benefit from the 24th August 2022. The medical certification submitted to support the claim only covers the period from 5th September 2022. An official from my Department contacted the person concerned advising him that a medical certificate covering the period from the 24th August 2022 to the 4th September 2022 is also required. Once this certificate is provided his claim can be processed.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
