I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all the evidence has disallowed the appeal of the person concerned. Following receipt of additional Medical Evidence including that supplied by the Deputy, the case was reviewed by the Appeals Officer who advised that a revision of his decision was not warranted.

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.
