Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
519. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection when an invalidity pension appeal will be approved in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34658/13]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal from the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer who has decided to hold an oral hearing in this case on 13 August 2013. The person concerned has been notified of the arrangements for the hearing.
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.
