The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is certified and paid up to 8th November 2018.

If the person concerned remains ill and unfit for work, he should submit a further medical certificate to the Department as soon as possible to enable further payments to be made.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
