I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an appeal from the person concerned was received on 25th September 2007 and has been referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral hearing. The person concerned will be informed when arrangements have been made.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of my Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
