The person concerned does not meet the criteria for payment under Illness Benefit scheme guidelines.  In particular, the customer does not satisfy the required PRSI contributions for the relevant tax years.  He has been awarded 'credits' for the period.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
