Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2024
641. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) can expect to receive a decision in regard to a carer’s allowance appeal in respect of their spouse; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44167/24]
View answerThe 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.
I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has decided to disallow the section 317 review of the person concerned. They have been notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
