The Department received an application from the person concerned for Illness Benefit on the 19th February 2022.

The details held by the Department in respect of the person concerned did not match with that on the certificate submitted by his GP leading to a delay in processing his claim.  Following correspondence with the person concerned, this issue was rectified on the 10th March 2022.

The claim was awarded and arrears of €970.67 issued to the person concerned. In this regard, he has been paid for the full period of his claim from the 6th February 2022 to the 7th March 2022.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
