543. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when an illness benefit payment in the case of a person (details supplied) will be normalised; the status of changes to the system that have resulted in delayed or irregular payments; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is paid up to 15th November 2018 and she is certified up until 2nd December 2018. Normalised IB payments should now resume up until the certified date.
If the customer remains ill and unfit for work, a further medical certificate should be submitted to the Department as soon as possible in order for further payments to issue.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
