I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, the relevant Departmental papers and comments of my Department have been received and the case has been referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration.

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