187. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason there is no independent appeals mechanism available, such as the social welfare appeals officer, when a decision is being reviewed by his Department rather than through the independent appeals process, in the situation where a person is being reviewed in terms of their entitlement to illness benefit credit contributions and his Department decides that they are not so entitled to credit contributions on the grounds that the person is not incapable of work; if this is the situation which prevails in respect of the determination of eligibility for this particular contribution; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
