Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2013
414. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide the up to date position on a social welfare appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50786/13]
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 6 December 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.
