The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an oral hearing for the person concerned was scheduled for 3rd July 2012 but was cancelled at the person’s request. The hearing will be rescheduled as soon as possible she will be informed when arrangements have been made. 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.
