The child benefit claim in this case was disallowed on 9 October 2009, as neither parents nor child were found to satisfy the HRC condition. An appeal was subsequently lodged with the Department and this was forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office on 10 March 2010. The person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome when the appeal process is completed.
