Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

I am informed by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an appeal from the person concerned has not been received by that office.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
