Enhanced (COVID) Illness Benefit was introduced on March 9th2020.

To date, enhanced (COVID) Illness Benefit has been received by 46,813 customers. The number of customers currently receiving enhanced (COVID) Illness Benefit is 1,147 at 27 August 2020.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
