Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2024
459. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection to clarify the application eligibility for fuel allowance of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36631/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand this question is in relation to the entitlement of the person concerned to the Household Benefits Package (HBP), rather than the Fuel Allowance. The entitlement of the person concerned to the HBP continues to be examined.
The application has been referred to a local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) to confirm that all the conditions for receipt of the HBP are satisfied. Once the SWI has completed a report on the matter, a decision will be made, and the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
