The Social Welfare Appeals Office is a service of the Department of Social Protection which is responsible for determining appeals against decisions in relation to social welfare entitlements. Appeals Officers are independent in their decision making functions.
I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has decided to disallow the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision on 10th June 2025, as the means of the person concerned exceeded the statutory means limit. The person concerned will be notified in writing of the Appeals Officer’s decision in the coming days.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
