Comment on this
The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 4 February 1981 and has been paid at the maximum appropriate rate. All disability benefit and pay-related benefit due from 7 February 1981, fourth day of incapacity, to 25 April 1981, after which date he was certified fit to resume work, has been issued. Payment of benefit was delayed because an incorrect number was quoted on the second and third certificates, dated 11 and 18 February 1981, respectively, submitted to the Department.
