Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 September 2013
117. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an appeal of social welfare payments in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40070/13]
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 10 October 2013. The person concerned will shortly be 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 on social welfare entitlements.
