While receiving Illness Benefit, your claim will be reviewed from time to time and you may be asked to attend for a medical assessment. This assessment will be carried out by a Medical Assessor, who is a doctor employed by the Department of Social Protection. The Medical Assessor will give an opinion on whether or not you are fit for work. You will be sent advance notice of your appointment for an assessment. You may bring along whatever medical evidence you wish the doctor to see. Note: You must attend for a medical assessment when asked, or your benefit will be suspended. If the Medical Assessor finds that you are capable of work (that is your usual work or other categories of work), a Deciding Officer may decide that you are not entitled to payment of Illness Benefit, and/or to credited contributions. Where payment of Illness Benefit is stopped, you will have a right to appeal the decision. If you are receiving credited contributions only and these are stopped, you will have a right to seek a review of the decision but not a right to appeal it.

Le linn duit an Sochar Breoiteachta a fháil, déanfar athbhreithniú ar d’éileamh ó am go ham agus féadfar a iarraidh ort freastal ar mheasúnú leighis. Déanfaidh Measúnóir Leighis an measúnú seo, agus is dochtúir i bhfostaíocht na Roinne Coimirce Sóisialaí é/í. Tabharfaidh an Measúnóir Leighis tuairim ar cibé acu atá nó nach bhfuil tú cumasach chun oibre. Cuirfear réamhfhógra chugat maidir le do choinne i gcomhair measúnaithe. Is ceadmhach duit cibé fianaise leighis is mian leat a thaispeáint don dochtúir a thabhairt leat. Tabhair faoi deara Má iarrtar ort freastal ar mheasúnú leighis, ní mór duit a bheith ann, nó cuirfear do shochar ar fionraí. Má fhionnann an Measúnóir Leighis go bhfuil tú cumasach chun oibre (is í sin do ghnáthobair nó saghsanna eile oibre), féadfaidh Oifigeach Breithiúnachta an cinneadh a dhéanamh nach bhfuil tú i dteideal íocaíocht an tSochair Bhreoiteachta a fháil, agus/nó i i dteideal ranníocaíochtaí curtha chun sochair. Má chuirtear stad le híocaíocht an tSochair Bhreoiteachta, beidh an ceart agat chun an cinneadh a achomharc. Mura bhfaigheann tú ach ranníocaíochtaí curtha chun sochair agus má chuirtear stad leo seo, beidh an ceart agat chun athbhreithniú ar an gcinneadh a lorg ach gan ceart a bheith agat chun é a achomharc.
