My Department received an application for Enhanced Illness Benefit from the person concerned on the 26th May 2022. The appropriate medical evidence required to support her claim has yet to be received. A letter issued to the person concerned on the 2nd June 2022 requesting that she submit a Certificate of Incapacity for Work from her GP. A further email issued to her on the 5th July 2022 clarifying the acceptable medical evidence required.

Once the appropriate medical certificate has been received the claim from the person concerned can be processed.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
