I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an appeal was registered on 14th November 2012 and, in accordance with the statutory requirements, that office contacted the person concerned asking her to set out the complete grounds of her appeal. On receipt of her response the appeal will proceed.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office functions independently of the Minister of Social Protection and of the Department and is responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
