62 Deputy Máire Hoctor asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary has not received a reply to their appeal for domiciliary care allowance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24998/10]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal from the person concerned has been referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral hearing in the case. The person concerned will be informed when arrangements have been made.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office functions independently of the Minister for Social Protection and of the Department and is responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
