View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an oral hearing of the appeal of the person concerned took place on 13 February 2014. During the course of the hearing, the person concerned undertook to submit additional information to the Appeals Officer. As soon as that additional information is received from the person concerned, the Appeals Officer will complete her consideration of the appeal. 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.
