It is proposed to take Questions Nos. 793, 795 and 798 to 800, inclusive, together.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the relevant Departmental papers and comments of the Department on each of the appeals from the persons concerned have been received and have 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.

I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, following receipt of the grounds of appeal from the person concerned, the relevant Departmental papers and comments of the Department have been sought. On receipt of its response the case will be referred to an Appeals Officer for early consideration.
