I was on sick leave getting Illness Benefit (which I still am on) and was made redundant with a lump sum. I am aware of period of disqualification -

Amount of Redundancy Payment Period of Disqualification
€50,000.00 - €55,000 1 Week
€55,000.01 - €60,000 2 Weeks
€60,000.01 - €65,000 3 Weeks
€65,000.01 - €70,000 4 Weeks
€70,000.01 - €75,000 5 Weeks
€75,000.01 - €80,000 6 Weeks
€80,000.01 - €85,000 7 Weeks
€85,000.01 - €90,000 8 Weeks
€90,000.01 and over 9 Weeks

However when does clock start ticking on this period of disqualifaction?

When I come off Illness Benefit or date of redundancy?
