Yes. Your Illness Benefit payment may be suspended for up to 9 weeks if you do not observe the conditions while receiving Illness Benefit.
If you get Illness Benefit that you do not qualify for, you must repay it to us. The Minister for Social and Family Affairs may get the repayment by legal action or through deductions from any other social welfare payment you qualify for. For more information, log on to www.welfare.ie.
