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.

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 Disability Allowance section is currently carrying out a control review of this claim 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.
