The Department has not as yet received a claim from the person concerned for Illness Benefit.

However the person concerned would appear to have the necessary PRSI contributions for Illness Benefit if she is making a claim from the 31st December 2018. She would qualify at a rate of €198 per week.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
