The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an appeal by the person concerned was referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration. A decision will issue shortly.

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.
