Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 May 2008
322 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when a carer’s allowance appeal will be finalised for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo particularly as the medical condition of the care recipient has worsened. [19271/08]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that the appeal from the person concerned has been referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral hearing. The person concerned will be informed when arrangements have been made. The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of my Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
