The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is paid up until 7th November 2018. She is certified up to 22nd November 2018 so weekly payments will continue to issue up to that date.

If the customer remains ill and unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be submitted to the Department on or before 23rd November in order for further payments to issue.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
