Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 February 2022
159. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on a jobseeker’s overpayment appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8650/22]
View answerFollowing a review of this customer's Jobseekers claim, a revised decision was made, and an overpayment assessed by a Deciding Officer of my Department, which was notified to the customer. The customer subsequently appealed this decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
The appeal is under consideration by the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO) which has received a submission from the Department on the case. I am advised that the SWAO will issue its determination shortly.
I trust that this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
