Minister of State at the Department of Health

I confirm that my department was recently notified by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that the appeal for this gentleman was successful.

His case is currently with a deciding officer to implement the appeals officer’s decision and he will be notified in writing as soon as possible.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
