The Department administers the Illness Benefit scheme to those customers who cannot work because they are sick or ill provided they are covered by the appropriate class of social insurance (PRSI) and satisfy the PRSI conditions.

The Illness Benefit claim for the person concerned is in payment and all arrears owing to her have been issued. The latest payment issued to this customers bank account on the 15th January 2019 that brought her payment up to date.

She is medically certified to the 4th June 2019.  

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
