Illness benefits?

barneyeile · 2010-01-06 17:16:34

I will be out of work for a couple of weeks due to an injury. Does anyone know how long I have to get my medical letter into the social welfare office? Is it 7 or 21 days as I have been told different answers.

Would they back date the payments from the date of the doctor's cert?

There is a little box on the form where you will have to write in why you didn't claim immediately
