Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 June 2022
153. Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason that a fuel allowance application by a person (details supplied) was not approved; if this decision will be reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31048/22]
View answerThe person concerned is in receipt of state pension non-contributory, which is a qualifying scheme for fuel allowance. Under the rules of the fuel allowance scheme, only one allowance is payable per household. The person concerned is not eligible for fuel allowance as the Department's records show that fuel allowance is already in payment to another person in the household.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
