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 table below gives a breakdown of Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) staff working in the Social Welfare Appeals Office in 2023 and 2024 by grade.

Appeals Office - 2023 Appeals Office - 2024
Grade Number Grade Number
Principal Officer 4 Principal Officer 4
Assistant Principal Officer 44.2 Assistant Principal Officer 44
Higher Executive Officer 7 Higher Executive Officer 7
Executive Officer 10 Executive Officer 11.4
Clerical Officer 24 Clerical Officer 21.8

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
