View answerThe Fuel Allowance is a contribution towards the energy costs of a household. The payment of €33 per week for 28 weeks (a total of €924 each year) is paid from late September to April. Only one fuel allowance is payable to a household.
As the Fuel Allowance is already in payment to another person in the household, the person concerned is not entitled to the allowance.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
