384. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if and when an oral hearing will take place in respect of an appeal for carer's allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare, if and when a decision is expected to issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29266/14]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal from the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer who has decided to hold an oral hearing in this case on 8th July 2014. The person concerned has been notified of the arrangements for the 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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
