Question 159: To ask the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) in County Offaly may expect a decision on their appeal for invalidity pension. [34310/12]

I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that no appeal in respect of Invalidity Pension has been registered for the person concerned.

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.
