Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2015
210. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if she will expedite a decision on an appeal in respect of an invalidity pension for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23712/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, to date, no appeal in respect of disallowance of invalidity pension has been received from the person concerned.
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.
