The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is now certified to 27th February 2019 and all arrears due in relation to the past 4 weeks have issued. The customer's normal payment pattern should now resume.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is now certified and paid to 11th November 2018.

If the customer remains ill and unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be submitted to the Department as soon as possible in order for further payments to issue.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
