Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2015
212. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the reason for the delay in processing an application for carer's allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 10; and when a decision will be made on their case. [2690/15]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all the evidence has allowed the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned has been notified of the 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 on social welfare entitlements.
