Kilkenny disability benefit payment dates

asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason for the delay in the payment of disability benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny.

Comment on this

The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 1 July 1980 and was paid from 4 July, fourth day of incapacity, to 15 July 1980, the date of the last medical certificate received. As it appears that he was incapable of work beyond that date further inquiries are being made to establish the duration of his illness. On completion of these inquiries any payment of benefit due will be issued to him.
