Comment on this
(Mayo West): The person concerned was paid disability benefit from 7 September 1981, fourth day of incapacity, to 3 October 1981. Pay-related benefit could not be paid at the time with the disability benefit payment as details of his earnings in 1979-80, the relevant tax year, were not available to my Department. The necessary information was subsequently received and a cheque for the amount of £38.04 being pay-related benefit due from 17 September 1981, 13th day of incapacity to 3 October 1981, was issued on 8 January 1982. The claimant has been informed that if he did not receive this cheque, the issue of a duplicate cheque will be considered on hearing from him.
