The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an Office of the Department of Social Protection which is responsible for determining appeals against decisions in relation to social welfare entitlements. Appeals Officers are independent in their decision making functions.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that there is no record of any appeal by the person concerned having been received by that office. I understand that the Department's State Pension section are currently carrying out a review of this case and as soon as this is completed the above named will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
