asked the Minister for Social Welfare when disability benefit which is due since 26 December 1980 will be paid to a person (details supplied).

Comment on this

The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 26 December 1980 and has been paid from 30 December, fourth day of incapacity, at the maximum appropriate rate. All disability benefit due has been paid to 11 May 1981. The first two cheques that issued were addressed to the number `89' instead of `59' as the address on his first certificate looked like `89'. These cheques were re-addressed to the correct address. In addition, despite a number of requests to quote his RSI number he quoted his insurance number only on his earlier medical certificates., When details of his earnings are available pay-related benefit, if due, will issue.
