Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 October 2022
284. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for fuel allowance by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50782/22]
View answerI can confirm that my department received an application for fuel allowance from this person on 29 September 2022.
Fuel allowance is a means tested payment, payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people.
Based on the information provided to the Department, the person concerned does not qualify for this allowance as their household includes people who are not in a qualifying category. The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 10 October 2022.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
