The person concerned made an application for Enhanced Illness Benefit from the 30th December 2021. Their claim was awarded; however,as they are in receipt of Carer's Allowance, they are only due a reduced amount of payment to increase their Carer's Allowance payment up to the Enhanced Illness benefit rate of €350.00 per week.

The claim from the person concerned has been processed and a payment of €359.50 has issued to them.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
