An Illness Benefit (IB) claim was received on 24th September 2018 for the person concerned. Unfortunately, the claim was disallowed as he did not meet the PRSI conditions required for payment of IB.

If he has an urgent financial need, he should contact the Community Welfare Service through the local Intreo Centre.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
