Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
768. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been reached on a jobseeker's allowance appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38386/12]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer having fully considered all the available evidence, including that adduced at oral hearing, allowed the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer decision.
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.
