The person concerned appealed a decision by my Department to raise an overpayment in her case. The appeal was heard by the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office and the person concerned was successful in her appeal. My Department is working to give effect to the decision of the Appeals Office and expects to be in a position to contact the person concerned with full details shortly.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
