Certificate from Social Welfare showing 2018 Illness Benefits.

[TrundleAlong]

I was in receipt of a couple of months of Illness Benefit payments last year.

I will be completing my tax return shortly. Can I get a certificate from the Social Welfare Department to show the amount of payments received during 2018?

Thanks

Thanks Early Riser. I didn't know that this existed online. Very helpful.

Just check whether you tax credits have not been adjusted already. Amazingly Dept SW and revenue are linked up on this one.

A few years ago I received illness benefit, when I went to complete the tax return online, the illness benefit was already there.

I found it is already prepopulated in the past couple of years for benefits, I rang last year looking for the statement and they said I didn't need it anymore as it will come up automatically on online form. Now if you're filling a paper one then of course that is different.
