The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is now certified and paid up to 20th November 2018 and any arrears due have been issued.

If he 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.
