Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 May 2013
131. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an application for invalidly pension in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26057/13]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all the evidence has allowed the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned has been notified of the 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.
