I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an appeal from the person concerned was registered on 13th March 2014. In accordance with statutory requirements that Office have written to the person concerned and asked him to set out the complete and up to date grounds of his appeal. On receipt of his response the relevant papers and comments by the Deciding Officer on the grounds of appeal will be requested from the Department of Social Protection.

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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
