Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 June 2010
122 Deputy Michael D’Arcy asked the Minister for Social Protection when an oral hearing will take place in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford who has appealed the refusal of their carer’s allowance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23884/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal from the person concerned has been referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral hearing in the case. The person concerned will be informed when arrangements have been made. 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 on social welfare entitlements.
