Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 June 2025
109. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will provide an update on a carer’s allowance appeal for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32916/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Social Welfare Appeals Office is a service 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 appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision on 27th May 2025, as the means of the person concerned exceeded the statutory means limit. The person concerned has been notified in writing of the Appeals Officer’s decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
