The three statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Social Welfare Tribunal, the Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Board. In addition, the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman comes under the remit of the Department. On 1 July 2009, the Combat Poverty Agency merged with the Office for Social Inclusion to form the Department's Social Inclusion Division. The Social Welfare Tribunal deals with cases where entitlement to jobseeker's benefit or jobseeker's allowance is refused due to an involvement in a trade dispute. The Tribunal is convened as needed and as such does not require permanent office accommodation. The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the table.
