201. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when a decision will issue on an appeal for a carer's allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26313/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence including that adduced at the oral hearing, has decided to disallow the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision.
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.
