Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
330. Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Social Protection when an appeal against the disallowance of invalidity pension will be dealt with in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare. [25586/14]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has decided to allow the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer’s 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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
