Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 February 2013
210. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding invalidity pension in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cavan; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7819/13]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer having fully considered all the available evidence disallowed the appeal of the person concerned by way of summary decision. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officers 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.
