Meath disability benefit delay
The claimant has been paid disability benefit through 11 May; the initial delay arose because medical certificates gave an insurance number instead of the RSI number.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare when a person (details supplied) in County Meath will receive disability benefit; and the cause of delay in making payment.
Comment on this
The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 16 February 1981 and has been paid from 19 February, fourth day of incapacity, at the maximum appropriate rate. All disability benefit due to 11 May 1981 has issued. He is not entitled to pay-related benefit.
Delay in payment initially was due to the fact that he quoted his insurance number instead of his RSI number on the earlier medical certificates submitted in support of his claim.
