I want to say that Mr. Sullivan is correct in that the medical certificate for critically ill children is with regard to the child's illness. If the child has passed away, the sickness benefit as well as the compassionate care benefit are for that parent, who would seek a certificate for bereavement, essentially. Those are granted routinely for parents who require sickness leave because they're not able to function in their place of work because of a psychological challenge they may have.
It's open to families whether the child passes away or not. The parent may find they have extreme stresses because a critically ill child has come home.
The benefit is available to the parent after the child exits hospital, is no longer critically ill, or passes away. There are multiple scenarios. Then it does go to the parent.
