305. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Social Protection if she would consider extending the fuel allowance payment options so that it can be received annually in order to enable persons to bulk purchase fuel oil for home tanks; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39979/24]
View answerThe Fuel Allowance is a payment of €33 per week for 28 weeks (a total of €924 each year) from late September to April, at an estimated cost of €382 million in 2024. The purpose of this payment is to assist these households with their energy costs. Only one allowance is paid per household.
In 2017 my Department introduced the option that Fuel Allowance recipients may receive the payment in two instalments. The decision was taken at the time to allow households to avail of discounts for buying in bulk.
The two-instalment option was considered the best option at the time, as the second instalment is issued at the start of January during the coldest period of the year and at a time when people may have less money following the Christmas period.
The two instalment options also ensures that people can automatically benefit from any increases to the payment that are announced as part of the Budget, which generally take affect in January.
My Department engages regularly with stakeholders regarding social welfare schemes, including through the pre-Budget Forum. While the suggestion made by the Deputy has not been raised as a priority issue in that engagement, we will of course keep the scheme under review in the context of the annual Budget process.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 306, 309 and 315 and Questions Nos. 318 to 320, inclusive, together.
I am delighted, as part of Budget 2025, to have introduced a new baby grant of €280. This will be paid to families of babies born on or after 1 December 2024 in addition to their regular first month’s Child Benefit payment of €140. As a result, families will receive a payment of €420 in respect of the first month after their child’s birth.
In order to issue this new payment some changes to my Department’s systems are required. As a result, the first new baby payment will issue in the new year in respect of those babies born in December.
This new payment will assist parents with the costs associated with new babies. It will provide additional financial support to a family to ensure adequate resources and that the material needs of a newborn are met. It is estimated that in 2025, the grant will be paid in respect of some 54,000 children, at a cost of approximately €15 million.
As part of Budget 2025, I also provided for two double payments of Child Benefit to be paid before Christmas – one in November and another in December. Each of these payments will be paid to approximately 678,000 recipients in respect of approximately 1,227,000 children, at an estimated cost of €371.4 million.
I trust this clarifies matters for the Deputies.
307. Deputy Frankie Feighan asked the Minister for Social Protection to provide clarity around pension entitlements of retired members of the HSE and former health boards (details supplied). [40000/24]
View answerThe Household Benefits Package comprises the electricity or gas allowance, and the free television licence. The Department of Social Protection will spend approximately €294 million this year on the Household Benefits Package for over 529,000 customers.
It is not the case that those who were subject to the D class stamp do not have access to any of these benefits.
The Free Travel pass is available to everyone aged 66 or over who live in Ireland, irrespective of whether they are in receipt of a Social Protection payment or not.
The Household Benefits Package is available to all those aged 70 or over, subject to one package per household. Furthermore, the package is available to those aged 66-69 who are not in receipt of a Social Protection payment, subject to satisfying a means test.
In 2023 I introduced the enhanced Fuel Allowance qualifying conditions for those aged 70 or over. The enhanced qualifying conditions included that a person aged over 70 no longer has to be in receipt of a qualifying Social Protection payment, thus allowing those in receipt of just Public Service pensions to qualify for the payment for the first time. In Budget 2025 I announced that, from January, the enhanced Fuel Allowance qualifying conditions will now be available to those aged 66 and over, allowing more Public Servants to qualify for the payment.
Finally, my Department provides Additional Needs Payments as part of the Supplementary Welfare Allowance scheme for people who have an essential need which they cannot meet from their own resources. These payments are available through our Community Welfare Officers and can include payments towards essential heating or repair costs.
I trust that this clarifies these matters for the Deputy.
308. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason the wage subsidy scheme is not being signed off by the Department for employers in order to encourage people with a disability to take up employment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40009/24]
View answerThe Wage Subsidy Scheme (WSS) gives financial incentives to private sector employers to employ people with a disability. The work offered must be for a minimum of 15 hours per week and the subsidy is available up to 39 hours per week.
The objective of the WSS is to increase the likelihood of people with disabilities obtaining and sustaining employment in the open labour market by providing financial incentives to private sector employers.
The base wage subsidy paid to private sector employers who employ people with a disability is €6.30 per hour. If an application is approved, the department will write to the employer and employee to confirm the terms of approval.
I understand that in this case the issue has now been resolved and the WSS application for this particular employer has been processed and the WSS has been approved for their employee.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
310. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40020/24]
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 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.
311. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Social Protection to provide details of the fees paid to private commercial operators in the past five years for provision of transport under the free travel scheme, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40023/24]

Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Social Protection to provide details of how much of the fees paid to private commercial operators in the past five years for the provision of transport under the free travel scheme is actually related to usage data; the amount that was paid on the basis of usage survey information, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40025/24]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 311, 312 and 313 together.
The Free Travel scheme is available to people over 66 years and to people in receipt of certain social welfare payments who are under 66 years. From 29th July 2024, Free Travel is also available to persons from age 17 to 66 who are medically certified as unfit to drive for a period of at least 12 months. Free Travel recipients must be permanently resident in the State.
The scheme permits free travel on most CIE public transport services, Luas, Local Link and some 74 private commercial operators. Free travel is also available on cross border journeys and, for those aged 66 or over, within Northern Ireland.
At the end of August 2024, there were 1.11 million eligible recipients; and the total number of eligible beneficiaries increases to over 1.83 million when spouse and companion passes are included.

Since free travel passenger usage surveys re-commenced in Quarter 1 of 2023, following an interruption due to the Covid 19 pandemic, 12 private commercial operators have completed the survey process on their routes. A further 24 are currently in the survey process.
Surveys of the remaining private commercial operators, whose routes have not been surveyed since prior the COVID 19 pandemic, will be commenced as soon as the existing surveys are completed.
Currently, all private commercial operators in my Department's Free Travel scheme are paid on the basis of usage survey data.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
314. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Social Protection if her Department recognises the UK personal independence payment as a disability payment for the purpose of applying for the free travel pass as in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40026/24]
View answerThe Free Travel scheme provides free travel on the main public transport services provided by the State, and some private transport services, for those eligible under the scheme.
The Free Travel Scheme is available to all people aged over 66 living permanently in the State. Applicants who are under 66 must be in receipt of a qualifying payment in order to qualify for the scheme.
The qualifying payments for those aged under 66 are Invalidity Pension, Blind Pension (or a person who is blind or severely visually impaired and satisfies the medical conditions for a Blind Pension, or registered with Vision Ireland), Disability Allowance, Incapacity Supplement with Disablement Pension for at least 12 months, Carer’s Allowance, or an equivalent social security payment from a country covered by EU Regulations or one with which Ireland has a Bilateral Social Security Agreement.
I regret, based on the information available, the person concerned does not qualify for the Free Travel scheme, as they are not in receipt of a qualifying payment.
There is no bilateral agreement in respect of the UK Personal Independence Payment and therefore it is not a qualifying payment for receipt of Free Travel.
As part of Budget 2024, Free Travel was extended to people who are medically certified as unfit to drive. From 29th of July 2024, the measure extends access to the Free Travel scheme to:
• People who have never been medically fit to drive due to a disability; and
• Drivers who have a license and have been deemed medically unfit to drive for a period of one year or longer
If the person concerned feels they qualify as medically unfit to drive, they can complete the application form, which has been posted out for their convenience, and bring it their doctor to complete the medical certification. Upon receipt of the completed form, a decision will be made and the customer will be notified of the outcome in writing.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
316. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Social Protection to investigate an issue (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40071/24]
View answerThe customer incurred an overpayment of €173.33 while on Illness Benefit from the period 14th June 2022 to the 18th of June 2022. This debt was raised on 18th July 2022 and remains outstanding.
A letter was issued to the customer on 18th July 2022 requesting repayment of the outstanding debt. The letter included a sentence referencing that Illness Benefit payments can issue to either the customer or the employer. The letter also provided contact details if the customer wished to provide any relevant facts or circumstances in relation to the overpayment. It further stated that the customer could provide consent to correspond directly with the employer if they wished to do so.
In this case, the payment was made directly to the employer. The outstanding debt will remain in place until it has been repaid in full but there will be no further correspondence sent to the customer regarding this overpayment.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
317. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Social Protection if the normal average rule for calculating a State pension (contributory) can be used when a person continues to work between 66 and 70 years or if the total contributions approach must be used; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40076/24]
View answerFollowing on from the Pensions Commission's recommendations, a number of State pension reforms were enacted in the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023, which represent the biggest ever structural reform of the Irish State pension system.
Among these reforms was the introduction of a flexible State pension system for those turning 66 on or after the 1st January 2024.
Those who avail of the flexible pension option can, on reaching pensionable age (66), defer access to their State Pension (Contributory) up to the age of 70 and receive an actuarially adjusted higher rate of payment. A person can use the period between 66 and 70 years of age to build up additional entitlements and, if a person has less than 10 years PRSI reckonable paid contributions, they may be able to use this period to establish entitlement. Those who defer claiming their State Pension (Contributory) and continue to work, will have access to certain short-term contingency payments during the period of deferral.
A further reform introduced under the 2023 Act is the ten-year phased transition from the Yearly Average (YA) method of calculation of State Pension (Contributory) to the Total Contributions Approach (TCA) as the sole method of calculation.
TCA resolves many of the anomalies arising from the YA calculation model. The main anomaly within the YA calculation method is that it is possible for people to start paying social insurance later in their working life and yet qualify for a pension at maximum rate. Entitlement to a full pension can in some cases be achieved from as little as ten years of social insurance contributions. Another anomaly arises where a person has a gap in their social insurance contribution record, possibly from periods spent caring for family or travel, and qualifies for a lower pension entitlement than a person with the same number of social insurance contributions. This occurs as their Yearly Average is calculated over the person’s entire ‘working life’.
TCA is a fairer and more transparent method of calculating the contributory pension as it more closely reflects the social insurance contributions made by a person during their working life.
The ten-year transitional arrangements are to avoid a ‘cliff edge’ effect. The first year of phasing-out begins in January 2025. During this transition period, pension rates will be based on best of the TCA, or a combined rate based on mix of Yearly Average and TCA, with the proportion accounted for by Yearly Average reducing from 90% to zero over 10 years and the proportion accounted for by the TCA increasing commensurately. From 2034, all State Pension (Contributory) calculations will be through the TCA method only.
If a person chooses to defer their State Pension (Contributory), the rate will be calculated based on the methods of calculation in the year that they drawdown their State Pension (Contributory) and not the year they reach pensionable age. For example, If a person reaches pensionable age (66) in 2025 and decides to defer drawing their State Pension (Contributory) until age 67 in 2026, the rate of State Pension (Contributory) will be calculated using the methods of calculation applicable for 2026.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
321. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Social Protection if she has examined the amount a person in receipt of disability allowance can earn and still receive disability allowance, given the low number of persons with a disability in employment in Ireland, to ensure that those that do can receive increases announced in budgets, and are therefore incentivised to work and be supported financially; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40115/24]
View answerhe Disability Allowance scheme is structured to encourage recipients to avail of opportunities to engage in either insurable employment or self-employment. For people in employment, an income disregard of €165 per week is applied with 50% of earnings between €165 and €375 also disregarded. Persons can currently earn up to €165 per week and keep their payment in full and can earn up to €505.10 per week and keep a small portion of their payment and keep their secondary benefits.
The earnings disregard for recipients of Disability Allowance has increased by almost 38% since Budget 2021 from €120 to €165 currently. This enables those on the scheme to earn more without having a negative impact on their means tested payment.
As at the end of August 2024 the number of people on Disability Allowance who were also in employment was 17,662.
In response to increases in the cost of living for people with disabilities, as part of Budget 2025, I introduced significant supports which include:
• €12 increase in the maximum personal rate of weekly disability payments from January 2025. There will be proportionate increases for people getting a reduced rate.
• Weekly rates of Child Support Payment (previously known as Increase for a Qualified Child) will increase by €8 to €62 for those aged 12 and over, and by €4 to €50 for under 12s in January 2025.
• €400 cost of living lump sum payment for people getting Disability Allowance, Invalidity Pension and Blind Pension to be paid in November 2024.
• €300 cost of living lump sum payment to all households getting Fuel Allowance to be paid in November 2024.
• €200 cost of living lump sum payment to people who are getting a Living Alone Increase to be paid in November 2024.
• October 2024 cost of living bonus for most people getting a long term weekly social welfare payment.
• Christmas bonus to all persons getting a long-term disability payment to be paid in December 2024.
The Taoiseach has established a Cabinet Committee on Children and Education and Disability. Any reform of disability payments will now be considered as part of this broader review of disability matters on a whole-of-Government basis.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
322. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of WTE appeals officers currently assigned to assess both applications and appeals, respectively for the State pension (contributory). [40133/24]
View answerThe staffing needs for all areas within my Department, including the Social Welfare Appeals Office and all areas involved in the processing of appeals, are continuously reviewed. This is to take account of workloads, management priorities and the ongoing need to respond to increasing demands in a wide range of services. I want to ensure that the best use is made of all available resources with a view to providing an efficient service to those who rely on the schemes and services provided by my Department.
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 functions.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that there are currently 40 Appeals Officers making decisions on appeals.
However, a number of new Appeals Officers have joined the Appeals Office over the past year to replace staff leaving on retirement. Given the complexity of the appeals process it takes some time for new staff to be trained up and develop expertise across a range of schemes, including State Pension (contributory). This can lead to longer processing times.
The processing of initial applications for State Pension Contributory (SPC) is a priority of my Department and is monitored on an ongoing basis with particular focus on processing times, to ensure a timely service to applicants.
There are 30 full-time equivalent Deciding Officers assigned to assessing new applications, reviews and appeal activity for State Pension (contributory).
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
323. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Social Protection if officials from her Department will urgently pass all elements of a case file relating to the refused carer’s allowance payment made by a person (details supplied) to the Office of the Ombudsman, in order that a determination can be made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40136/24]
View answerCarer's Allowance is a means-tested social assistance payment made to a person who is habitually resident in the State and who is providing full-time care and attention to a child or an adult who has such a disability that as a result they require that level of care.
I can confirm that my Department received correspondence dated 16 September 2024 from the Office of the Ombudsman stating they had received a complaint from the person concerned in relation to a decision to refuse an application for Carer’s Allowance.
The Ombudsman will be provided with all the information requested relevant to the investigation of this complaint. A response is being drafted and will be submitted within the timeframe requested which is 15th October 2024.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
325. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of recipients that will receive the €200 living alone allowance lump sum announced in Budget 2025, by county, in tabular form. [40145/24]
