Question:

401. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an appeal against the decision not to grant child benefit in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1615/14]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that there is no record of any appeal by the person concerned having been received by that office.

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.
