The Department recently moved to a new IT system for Illness Benefit. Arising from the changeover, some IB customers have experienced payment difficulties which the Department is working hard to resolve.

Payments have now resumed for the person concerned and all arrears owing to her will issue shortly.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
