The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the relevant Departmental papers and comments of the Department have been received and the case will be referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office functions independently of the Minister for Social and Family Affairs and of the Department and is responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
