Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 December 2013
325. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason the file pertaining to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15 has not been forwarded to the social welfare appeals office by her Department; the date her Department received a request for the file from the appeals office; when the file will be provided to that office; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54279/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe request from the Social Welfare Appeals Office for the file for the person concerned was originally sent to the incorrect location and was received by the appropriate Rents Unit on 23 August 2013. Due to a reorganisation of the Rents Units in Dublin 15 which was taking place at that time, the request was not processed in the normal timeframe. A review has now been carried out in light of all the available information and the original decision to disallow the claim has been reversed. Both the person concerned and the Appeals Office will be notified immediately.
