Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2014
179. Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when an invalidity pension appeal will be finalised in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37183/14]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal by the person has been withdrawn on the basis of a revised decision by Invalidity Pension Section on 26 September 2014 which was favourable to the person concerned.
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.
