Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 March 2013
125. Deputy Peter Mathews asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision on an appeal for jobseeker's allowance will be made by the deciding officer in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11714/13]
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 in this case. 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.
