260. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an appeal for farm assist in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow; and if she will outline any other entitlements they may have and if they qualify for jobbridge. [40702/12]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an appeal by the person concerned was registered in that office on 3rd August 2012 and will be referred to an Appeals Officer who will make a summary decision on the appeal based on the documentary evidence presented or, if required, hold an oral hearing. The person concerned may qualify for Jobbridge and should contact Department of Social Protection at Department of Social Protection National Contact Centre, IPA Industrial Estate Carrick Road, Edenderry, Co. Offaly. 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.
