The fuel allowance is a contribution towards the energy costs of a household. The payment of €33 per week for 28 weeks (a total of €924) is paid from late September to April to assist households with their energy costs.
The Fuel Allowance has been awarded. The first lump sum payment of €462 will issue on Friday 1 November 2024. An additional lump sum of €300 to help offset the impact of increasing energy costs and the cost of living will issue on 8 November 2024.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
