The fuel allowance entitlement of the person concerned has been re-examined in light of the new income limit rules that were introduced in Budget 2022. The person concerned has been awarded a fuel allowance at the weekly rate of €33.00 in addition to her widow's contributory pension from the 12 October 2021. In addition she has also been granted the telephone support allowance at the weekly rate of €2.50 also from the same date. The person concerned will receive her first payment of the allowances, together with arrears, at her chosen post office on Friday the 4th February 2022 and weekly thereafter.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
