Pay-related benefit eligibility decision
The claimant was not entitled to pay-related benefit because his occupational injury and disability payments exceeded the relevant earnings threshold; the Chair ruled against turning the case into a wider debate.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason for the delay in the payment of pay-related benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny in respect of his occupational injury and disability claims from 1 April 1980 to 2 February 1981.
Comment on this
The person concerned was not entitled to pay-related benefit for the period 31 March 1980 to 29 January 1981, when he was certified fit to resume work, as the weekly rate of occupational injury benefit and disability benefit paid to him in that period exceeded the amount of his reckonable weekly earnings, during the relevant income tax year on which his entitlement to pay-related benefit was based. In effect he was not entitled.
