Illness Benefit Certification

If you are out of work more than 5 days due to illness then you are entitled to Illness Benefit as part of your P.R.S.I taxes

You MUST HAVE BEEN SEEN by your GP to get a Cert

Those seeking Certification who have not seen the GP will be called in for appointment.

To apply for this benefit you need to fill in application form IB1 (available online)

You must also request a Medical Certificate of Illness (Med 1 form) from your GP.

The e-Cert is sent electronically to the Department by your GP.

You can request the Med 1 certificate using the form below.

NB: Certs will only be issued following an initial review by your GP.

Note:

The E-Cert sent covers the totality of the illness and no ‘First, Middle or Final' cert is sent
