Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2013
386. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection when an appeal for invalidity pension will be granted in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Laois; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25548/13]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the evidence, has allowed the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer’s 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.
