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

The IB claim from the person concerned has now been processed and she has been paid up to date.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
