Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
533. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a dietary supplement allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37670/13]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all the evidence has disallowed 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.
