Illness benefit problems since new form

horse7

Illness benefit is about 230 EUR and to get 305 EUR is 75 EUR extra at approximately 5euro increase per year if you're lucky ,so probably 15 years time.

It’s only for people who have to self isolate for 2 weeks.

That's my understanding as well based on the Taoiseach's announcement.

They had a SW spokeswoman on RTE's "Drivetime" this afternoon. She said the increased payment is only for those who work and who have to self-isolate.
Those people who are already on IB due to other reasons won't get any increase on top of their current payment.

I heard the Tanaiste announce it on Newstalk. I just heard the specific details reported on the 9 o’clock news.
The only people getting the €305 are those affected by the virus.

My cert is up this week but I may not be able to get to my Gp's next week, get a cert and hand it in

Is there any grace period or dispensation considering what's going on at the moment or is it still a case of 'dont get your cert in, dont get paid'?

You’ll have to ring your local office in the morning, they’ll know.

I haven't been paid yet. Usually it goes in late Thursday night/Friday morning. This is all i need now.:(

My cert has been lost in the post or misplaced in their office. So that is why i did not get payment.
Luckily they called me back quickly and i had already taken pictures of the cert so hope that will do for them.

But i am not sure how quickly this will be put through. All i need now really. Had planned to do normal shopping and by a small present for my Mother as it's her birthday on Sunday but cannot now.

Guys

my GP's surgery has abruptly closed and she is taking only a backlog of house calls this week apparently so I can't go to her surgery and get my monthly cert.

My last one expired last week so how does this play out? Are IB going to give a week or two grace period to get certs in or will i not get a payment due to lack of cert?

Thanks

Contact your local INTREO office they’ll know what to do.

This is my first time claiming illness benefit and I've been off since the first week of March. I got a payment the Saturday before Paddys Day but nothing since. I know with the state the world is in that there might be delays, but any idea on when it will be paid?

Thanks

I am f*cked. My stamps run out at the end of this month and they have not processed my new claim yet. Apparently they have lost it. Now with so more applicants i don't know what will happen.

Invalidity benefit as advised by my GP and citizens advice.

Just as a matter of this happening a lot with sent in forms, i now take photos of all documents before i sent them in, you will have to re send everything again, there is a long wait for invalidity pension, I have to claim it in july and was told 4 to 5 months wait, not sure what i have to live on for rest of time.

I will just eat cornflakes as advised by someone before from their staff. I have no idea what to do now.

It's worrying.

I know, its worrying enough when you are sick, Just send everything as best as you can and go to welfare officer in the mean time and state your case.
