The person concerned made an on-line application for Enhanced Illness Benefit. Unfortunately she did not upload the required medical evidence to support her claim. The person concerned identified herself as being self-employed and accordingly there is a requirement that she provide proof that she is registered as such with Revenue along with documentation that shows she had been working in the 4 week period prior to the date of her illness.

An e-mail issued to the person concerned asking that she provide the details outlined above. On receipt of same her claim will be processed at the earliest opportunity.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
