The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeal from the person concerned was received on 19 June 2009 and following consideration by an Appeals Officer the case has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector for further investigation and clarification on certain matters. Every effort will be made to have this appeal dealt with as quickly as possible. The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
