Illness Benefit (IB) arrears for the person concerned have been paid. The claim is now closed.

If the person remains ill and unfit for work, they should submit a further IB application and medical certs to the Department as soon as possible to enable future payments to be made.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
