The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that an appeal by the person concerned together with the relevant departmental papers were received by that office on 7 March 2014. The appeal, in this case, was referred to an Appeals Officer on 1 May 2014, 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 in relation to social welfare entitlements.
