I have one more question. Subsequent to a decision being arrived at, the claimant is entitled to seek a review. This is not widely enough known. I think more people should avail of it prior to going to the social welfare appeals office to pick up clerical errors and all that kind of stuff. Are there processing times for the reviews? I know there are probably not as many of them. Do we have a sense of how long it takes to get back to people with a review? Obviously, that has a knock-on impact.
