Is there anything for those on illness benefits? I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and put on illness benefit I get €170 a week €65 of that goes on rent I’m not entitled to fuel allowance or anything like that
Hi, the only additional benefit on illness is the double payment the first week of December and the last week of January, if you are 12 months on the payment.
