Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2021
258. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Social Protection if a child benefit and family benefit application dating back to 2014 which is now under appeal with a request for an oral hearing will be expedited and approved in the name of a person (details supplied). [36951/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe appeal of the person concerned along with the file and submission papers, will be forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office this week. Should the person concerned wish to provide additional information to the Department this will also be considered.
An Appeals Officer will make a summary decision on the appeal based on the documentary evidence presented or, if necessary, hold an oral hearing.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
