377. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if an appeal has been registered in the case of a person (details supplied) Dublin 10 in respect of their jobseeker's allowance application; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9002/14]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an appeal by the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer on 19 February 2014, who will make a summary decision on the appeal based on the documentary evidence presented or, if required, hold an oral 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.
