On 1 January 2011, the Department assumed responsibility for making redundancy payments from the Social Insurance Fund. The processing of such payments was previously the responsibility of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation.. I can confirm that a statutory redundancy lump sum claim in respect of the individual concerned was received on 17 November, 2011. This claim is awaiting processing, taking account of the high number of claims on hand it is expected that this claim will be processed shortly.
