The Health Service Executive (HSE) has advised that mortgage interest supplement was refused as the means of the person concerned were in excess of the mortgage interest payable. The person concerned appealed the decision of the Executive to the HSE Appeals Office. The Executive has further advised that no decision has been made on the appeal. The HSE Appeals Office will contact the person concerned directly when a decision has been made on her appeal.
