Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 October 2024
255. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if an application for fuel allowance can be reconsidered in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43854/24]
View answerFuel Allowance is an administrative scheme and is payable to people who satisfy the conditions of the scheme and who either live alone or only with certain qualified people.
An application for Fuel Allowance was received from the person concerned on 29 September 2024. Based on the information provided to the Department, this person does not qualify for the allowance as they are not living alone at their address. The household consists of another individual who is not on qualifying payment for receipt of Fuel Allowance
The person concerned was notified of this decision in writing on 21 October 2024.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
