    I was also waiting 16 weeks for my FIS to be processed and the same thing happened with my back pay.Still waiting on it and they said it could be another 10 days before I receive it.It was sent for checking apparently if it is over a certain amount.

    Quick question on behalf of a family member.

    They applied about 6 months ago & it was returned because they forgot something. Was re-submitted about 2 months ago & nothing heard back, not even an awknowledgement.

    Is this normal?

    Was it refused or just sent back to get more info?

    If it was just returned for more info ,they wouldnt get a acknowledgement as it is the same application.

    I think if your arrears are over €3,000 they are sent for checking.

    Does anyone know what date they are working on at the moment?, I rang this day last week and they were still on the 10th of May. I wonder has this progressed at all. It could be slow at this time of year because of holidays etc.

    As fas as i know it is stopped. You should ring them and tell them and give them the date you are returning to work. If you are getting illness benefit they will know anyway but it might be more hassle to get it back unless you ring first.

    You can only get FIS and Illness Benefit together for 6 weeks .FIS is then stopped until you return to work.

    You need to contact only when you have returned to work and sent in a Final cert.Its up to you to contact FIS only after your Illness Benefit claim has closed.

    we applied for fis last september, they sent it to social welfare inspector and she spend so long asking for bank statements, stuff from employer we ended up only getting fis through in june! we have 3 kids and it was so hard getting through christmas. this morning a fis renewal came in post! this means we now have to start all over again. the relief of getting it in june and now we will be cut off for another 20 weeks, dunno how we will get through christmas again! Its a nightmare. The back payment is great but to be honest id rather have my application processed quickly, than suffer for weeks with no money. Sorry about the rant.

    I think its safe to say everyone would like if claims were processed quickly,DSP staff included,but that just isn't possible.

    yes yabadabado, i can imagine the dept would love claims processed quicker too. Its just waiting nine months for ours to be passed and then hit with a renewal is a bit upsetting. But sure nothing we can do only wait now. If i send renewal in straight away even though its not up until 9th sept does this mean i get in the queue early? i hope so :-(

    My renewal date is the 17th of May. I haven't heard anything yet. Im on hold to them as we speak to see if there has been a decision made. It would be nice to get it before the end of next week so I can sort books for school etc.

    Got through after 30 mins. My claim (renewal 17th may) has been processed and lodged to the bank. Only problem is they calculated it wrong. It was the same last year. So back on hold again now to see what the story is.

    I hope you get it soon, we're 5 weeks after you, I wonder how long it takes them to clear each week!
