I thank the Minister for his reply. However, an appeal was lodged because I have acknowledgments from the Department of Social Protection indicating the appeal is being processed. The confusion may relate to the appeal for the supplementary welfare allowance. The appeal which has been lodged is the appeal to the original decision by the Department of Social Protection to refuse social welfare payments. The applicant has demonstrated in her appeal that she is no longer on a career break and has a P45 from her employer. She is not in receipt of any employment benefit or any other kind of benefit from the UK in that regard and is no longer in receipt of her personal child dependant tax credit. She has gone to extreme lengths to explain that to the Department. There may be some confusion, but the response the Minister gave does not seem to be joined up in the context of the social welfare appeal and the appeal on the supplementary welfare side, which is being dealt with by the HSE. What I ask is that the Minister talk to his colleague, Deputy Joan Burton, to see whether, in light of the information that has been available to the social welfare appeals office, a review could be made of the supplementary welfare decision. Can that be done?
