IRELAND only please,how long can you expect to wait for your illness?

Answer 1

6 -8 weeks if your waiting for disabilty benifit and they do back date it for you but hound them for it i should kmow im on it

Answer 2

I would strongly advise that you contact them by phone on a daily basis and get the name of the person you are talking to each time. Nag them to death to get it otherwise you wont. Thats the department where they house all the vegetables in the civil service. My son has been waiting 8 months and still nothing despite having filled out 13 differnt forms and has been seen by two different docs. Good luck.

Answer 3

If its sick benefit about 6 wks, but if its disability benefit I know of people waiting 6/8 months.Its mad I know but thats the  way it is.The only thing to do is continue ringing & ringing until your paid. Good Luck!
