asked the Minister for Social Welfare if she will arrange for the immediate payment of disability benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Galway.

The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 18 August 1981 and was paid from 21 August 1981, fourth day of incapacity, to 4 January 1982, after which date he was certified fit to resume work. His title to pay-related benefit is being investigated and payment due, if any, will issue when inquiries are completed.
