The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned has been processed and all arrears owing to her have been issued. The claim is now closed as this customer has returned to work.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is paid up to the 1st December 2018 and all arrears owing to her have been issued.

If the person concerned remains ill and unfit for work after the 1st December 2018, further medical certificates should be submitted to the Department for payments to issue after this date.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
