I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that the relevant Departmental papers and comments of the Department have been received together with new medical information from the person concerned. The case 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 the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
