Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2022
493. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will issue on an appeal for a one-parent family payment for a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51106/22]
View answerThe 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 am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has decided to disallow the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
