Summary
Payments stopped when medical certificates were not received, then resumed after continuing medical evidence arrived, with arrears paid.
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 had been in receipt of disability benefit from 14 May 1980. Payment was made at regular weekly intervals but she was only required to furnish certificates at monthly intervals. As no medical certificates were received from her after 21 January 1981 payment ceased from 16 May 1981.
Following the receipt of continuing medical evidence payment of benefit was restored and all payment due up to 18 July has been made.
