Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 April 2014
91. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) in County Galway will receive a decision in relation to their invalidity pension appeal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17126/14]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, including that adduced at the oral hearing, has decided to partially allow the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned was notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision on the 2nd April 2014.
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.
