The person concerned appealed the means decision on 25 November 2015. The letter accompanying the appeal contained information which conflicted with previous information provided. The papers of the person concerned have been forwarded to the Social Welfare Inspector for further investigation.

On completion of the inspector investigation the report will be forwarded to the Deciding Officer for further consideration. The Deciding Officer will revise the decision or refer the matter to the Social Welfare Appeals Office as soon as possible.
