Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 November 2023
327. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on a social welfare appeal for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50519/23]
View answerThe Social Welfare Appeals Office is an Office of the Department of Social Protection which is responsible for determining appeals against decisions in relation to social welfare entitlements. Appeals Officers are independent in their decision making functions.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an appeal by the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer on the 1 November 2023. The Appeals Officer has been contacted and advised that a decision has been made in relation to this case and the individual concerned will be notified of the outcome later this week.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
