Waterford disability benefit delay
Benefit was paid through 16 May, less supplementary welfare allowance reimbursed to the health board; the claimant’s use of his insurance rather than RSI number caused delay.
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 January 1981 and has been paid from 29 January, fourth day of incapacity, at the maximum appropriate rate. All disability benefit, and pay-related benefit due, less, amount reimbursed to the health board of supplementary welfare allowance advanced, has been paid to 16 May 1981.
The delay in payment is due to the fact that he is quoting his insurance number instead of his RSI number on all medical certificates submitted in connection with his claim.
