Comment on this
A claim for disability benefit was received from the person concerned on 18 February 1983 in respect of incapacity for work from 24 January 1983. He was not qualified for payment at the commencement of his claim as according to the records of the Department he had less than the required minimum of 26 contributions paid or credited in 1981-82, the contribution year governing his claim?
It has since been established that he was entitled to a total of 30 credited contributions in the 1981-82 contribution year and is therefore entitled to a reduced rate of disability benefit.
A cheque for the amount of benefit payable to 14 February 1983, date of the latest medical certificate received, was issued to the claimant on 11 May 1983.
