194. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will issue on a disability allowance appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28662/13]
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 on 1 July 2013. The person concerned has been notified of the arrangements. 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.
