160 Deputy Darragh O’Brien asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding the progress of an appeal for disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2952/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal from the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral hearing in this 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.
