Summary
Earnings information was needed to determine entitlement; all benefit due through 6 May has since been issued.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason for the delay in the payment of pay-related benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford.
Comment on this
The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 21 January 1981 and all disability benefit and pay-related benefit due from 24 January 1981 to 6 May 1981 has been issued.
Payment of pay-related benefit could not be made initially on the claim until details of his earnings in the relevant income tax year had been ascertained. This was done towards the end of March 1981 and all payments since that time have been issued on the due dates.
