There is no trace of applications for disability allowance or illness benefit from the person concerned in my department. A claim form for disability allowance is in the process of issue to the person concerned. On receipt of the completed form by the Department, her case will be investigated and she will be notified of the outcome accordingly. To claim illness benefit, the person concerned needs to go to her doctor for a first certificate of incapacity for work and claim form (MC 1). On receipt of the completed form within the Department, her case will be decided and she will be notified of the outcome accordingly.
