My Department has received by post an application for statutory redundancy in respect of one of the individuals in question. I understand that the second individual has just recently been made redundant and the company has been advised to complete this application online.

I must advise the Deputy however that there is currently a significant backlog in dealing with redundancy rebate applications. The Redundancy Payments Section of my Department is currently dealing with rebate claims submitted online in December and those submitted manually in November. All correctly completed Redundancy claims filed online are given priority and claims are processed in order of receipt.
