    Hi,

    A relative of mine has been on jobseekers benefit for the past 7 months after taking voluntary redundancy - He worked in his previous job for 9 years.

    He recently has become quite ill and is unable to get around and the question I have is can he claim illness benefit until he can work again?

    My understanding is his jobseekers benefit (prsi stamps) are due to finish in 2 months where he will receive no more money. His wife is also currently employed.

    Thanks..

    great thanks as he is likely to be unable to work for the best part of 6 months.
