1069. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) has not received a full illness benefit payment; the reason a weekly payment cannot be paid on a weekly basis; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45114/18]

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is certified to 25th November 2018 and payments are currently up to date. If the customer remains sick and unfit for work after that date, medical certificates should be forwarded to the Department as soon as possible to ensure that payments can continue to be made.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
