Minister for Social Protection

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.

I have asked the Chief Appeals Officer to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
