Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
504. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will issue arrears of jobseeker's allowance to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34345/13]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has partially allowed the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision. The person concerned was notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision on 11 July 2013.
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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
