Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
395. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in determination of appeal for disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1542/14]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all the evidence has allowed 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.
