I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that the supplementary welfare allowance, child benefit, disability allowance and domiciliary care allowance appeals of the person concerned have been determined by an Appeals Officer and notification of the Appeals Officers' decisions issued to the person on 1 February 2012.

An appeal in relation to carer's allowance is currently being processed and further to my response to Parliamentary Question Ref. No. 2890/12 on 18th January 2012, I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that there is no update to the information given previously.

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