Special credits were awarded after the claimant’s employment was found insurable, and arrears of disability benefit were issued; pay-related benefit entitlement remains under investigation.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare when disability benefit will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Meath.
Comment on this
The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 29 October 1980. She was not entitled to payment however as contributions were not paid by her employer in respect of her employment from 1975 to 1980.
Following inquiries it has been decided that her employment was insurable. Pending collection of the contributions from the employer, special credits have been awarded which enables payment of benefit to be made from 29 October 1980. Cheques paying all benefit due from that date have been issued.
The question of her entitlement to pay-related benefit is being investigated and any benefit due will issue as soon as possible.
