Further to my response to Question No. 50 on 15 October 2008, I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that they have now received the documentation in the case and the Deciding Officer's comments on the grounds of the appeal from the Department and the case has been referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration. The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
