The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an appeal by the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer on 14 December 2012, who will make a summary decision on the appeal based on the documentary evidence presented or, if required hold an oral hearing.
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.
