The increase for qualified child portion of this person's claim has now been processed. The claim has been updated accordingly and any arrears owing have been paid.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

The IB claim for the person concerned is now paid up to date and certified to 6th November 2018.

If she remains ill and unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be forwarded to the Department as soon as possible.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
