(c) JB Linking to JB through another DSFA Scheme
JB may also link to an earlier JB claim through another Social Protection scheme. This may happen as long as there is not 26 weeks or more where the person was not in receipt of JB or one of the following schemes
AND there is not more than 2 years separating the two JB claims.
The schemes covered by this provision are;
- Illness Benefit
- Occupational Injury Benefit
- Maternity Benefit
- Health & Safety Benefit
- Invalidity Pension
- Unemployment Credits
- Incapacity Credits
Where two JB claims link in this way -
- No waiting days are served
- The CT continues from the earlier claim
- The rate of payment is based on the GCY for the first JB claim.
