Question:68 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for Social Welfare if a free fuel allowance will be granted to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 20.
Written Answers. - Social Welfare Benefits.
In order to qualify for a free fuel allowance a person must satisfy certain conditions. One of these conditions requires that a claimant's means other than his social welfare pension cannot exceed £5.00 per week.
As the person concerned is in receipt of income exceeding £5.00 per week from an occupational pension in addition to his retirement pension he is not entitled to a free fuel allowance.
