Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 April 2016
32. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when she will issue a decision to a person (details supplied) in County Clare under the domiciliary care allowance scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6608/16]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence including that adduced at the oral hearing, has decided to allow the appeal of the person concerned. 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.
