The Illness Benefit claim from the person concerned is fully paid and certified up to the 16th January 2019.

A payment of €627 issued to her bank account on the 19th December 2018 that paid her for the dates 11th December 2018 - 1st January 2019. A further payment of €429 issued to her on the 14th January 2019 that paid her for the period of 2nd January - 16th January. She is now paid in full up to the 16th January 2019.

If the person concerned 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.
