The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 22 January 1981 and has been paid all disability benefit and pay-related benefit due to 25 February 1981, date of the latest medical certificate received. The delay in payment was due to his failure to quote his RSI number on some of the medical certificates forwarded to my Department.

Did the Minister or the Department write to the applicant and ask him for his RSI number?
