The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal, by the person concerned, was registered in that office on 20 October 2011 and will be referred, in due course, to an Appeals Officer who will decide whether the case can be decided on a summary basis or whether to list it for oral hearing.
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.
