The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Ombudsman (which does not have a Board) and the Social Welfare Tribunal.

None of the bodies under the aegis of the Department have been abolished since 2011. The Pensions Board was renamed the Pensions Authority on 7 March 2014.
