Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 October 2024
125. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made for a disability allowance appeal (details supplied); the average processing times for such appeals; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40379/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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 allow the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision. The person concerned has been notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
