Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
1120. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will issue on an appeal by a person (details supplied) in relation to their disability allowance payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29745/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO) 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.
Separate to the appeaI referred to by the Deputy, I am advised that a revised decision in favour of the person concerned was recently made by a Deciding Officer of the Department. Consequently, the appeal to the independent SWAO was withdrawn on 3 June 2022.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
