The Department experienced some delays following the introduction of a new system for Illness Benefit (IB) in August last.

However, the claim from the person concerned has now been processed and she is in receipt of her full IB entitlements and any/all arrears owing to her have been paid. She should continue to send medical certs for the duration of her illness to ensure prompt payment of IB.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
