Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2017
688. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of a social welfare appeal by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39167/17]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that there is no record of any appeal by the person concerned having been received by that office.
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.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
