The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal has been allowed in this case. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer's decision. The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
