The person concerned is in receipt of Illness Benefit at a rate of €203.00 per week.

The person concerned was previously in receipt of an increase for three children on her claim, which made her weekly rate of payment €331.00. This increase was stopped from the 17th September 2021 as the person's spouse began earning over €400 per week. This meant she was no longer eligible for an increase for her children.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
