Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 October 2009
922 Deputy Noel J. Coonan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when she expects an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary to be finalised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34596/09]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, in accordance with statutory requirements, the Department was asked for the documentation in the case and the Deciding Officer's comments on the grounds of the appeal. In that context, an examination by another Medical Assessor will be carried out. The person concerned will be notified when arrangements for the examination have been completed.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
