The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an invalidity pension appeal by the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer on 19th December 2013, who will make a summary decision on the appeal based on the documentary evidence presented or, if required, hold an 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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
