Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 December 2013
320. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on the review of further medical evidence sent in support of a disability allowance appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54182/13]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that the appeal of the person concerned was referred back to the Appeals Officer for a review of his decision on 11th December 2013. The person concerned will be contacted when the review of his appeal has been finalised.
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.
