The appeal of the person concerned along with the file and submission papers, will be forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office this week. Should the person concerned wish to provide additional information to the Department this will also be considered.

An Appeals Officer will make a summary decision on the appeal based on the documentary evidence presented or, if necessary, hold an oral hearing.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
