My officials have advised an application for a Supplementary Welfare Allowance payment submitted by the person concerned has been awarded with effect from 07/01/2021.

The person concerned has been certified medically unfit to work until 05/02/21 but is not eligible for an Illness Benefit payment due to insufficient contributions paid.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
