My Department received an application for Illness Benefit from the person concerned on the 24th February 2022. This claim was awarded and a payment of €104.00 issued to the him on the 28th February 2022 paying him for the duration of his medical certification.

My Department also received an application for Illness Benefit on the 7th June 2022. There was a delay processing this application as the dates given on the person's application form did not match the dates given by the person's GP on his medical certificate. The person concerned has been contacted and this issued rectified. A payment of €173.34 has issued to him paying him for the duration of his claim.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
