Waterford disability benefit delay
Disability benefit was paid through 6 May; the claimant’s old social insurance number on some certificates delayed payment, and pay-related benefit is being investigated.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason for the delay in the payment of disability benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford.
Comment on this
The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 26 February 1981 and has been paid from 2 March 1981, fourth day of incapacity, to 6 May 1981 at the maximum appropriate rate. His entitlement to pay-related benefit is being investigated and payment due, if any, will issue on completion of inquiries.
The delay in payment of benefit was due to the fact that he quoted his old social insurance number only on some of his medical certificates submitted to my Department in connection with his claim.
