Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 October 2025
332. Deputy Brian Brennan asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason the fuel allowance payment for a person (details supplied) was stopped, and the options available to them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52844/25]
View answerFuel Allowance is payable to people who satisfy the scheme conditions and who either live alone or only with certain qualified people. Entitlement to fuel allowance is based on a review of all people residing in the household regardless of their relationship to the customer.
A letter was issued to the person concerned on 04 September 2025, requesting a household composition form to be completed. Based on the information they provided, the person concerned does not qualify for Fuel Allowance as their son, who is not a qualifying person, resides with them.
A letter notifying the person concerned of this decision issued on 17 September 2025.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
