577 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the outcome of an appeal for the respite care grant for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [20075/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office that the appeal from the person concerned has been referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration. Under social welfare legislation decisions in relation to claims must be made by Deciding Officers and Appeals Officers who are statutorily appointed. I have no role in regard to making such decisions.
