The Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance (BSCFA) scheme operates from the beginning of June until the end of September each year. A person may qualify for a BSCFA payment if he or she is in receipt of a social welfare or health service executive payment, is participating in an approved employment scheme or attending a recognised education or training course, and has household income at or below certain specified levels. The person concerned was disallowed BSCFA on 22 September, 2011 as his means were deemed to be above the income limit for his family size. The person concerned has requested a full review of this decision and the BSCFA review section will be in touch with him shortly in this regard.
