I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has disallowed the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision. The person concerned was notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision on 8 January 2014.

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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
