Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
143. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 195 of 30 June 2015, if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare can appeal the decision cited; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30475/15]
View answerWhen the original decision in this case was made on 28 October 2014, the client was advised of her right of appeal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office within 21 days of receiving the decision. As notified to the Deputy on 9 January 2015, as the appeal was not received until 18 December 2014 the Appeals Officer decided the client’s right to appeal had expired.
As correct procedures were followed at the time of award of this claim, a request to review the original decision was refused on 3 September 2015. Accordingly, there is no recourse to a further appeal at this stage.
