Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 October 2023
149. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on a fuel allowance application by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44421/23]
View answerThe person in question is in receipt of an Invalidity Pension from my Department. An application for Fuel Allowance under the National Fuel Scheme was received on 13 September 2023. They were found eligible for fuel allowance with effect from 14 September 2023. A notification of this allowance decision issued to them on 30 September 2023.
The person concerned has opted for payment in two instalments for the 2023/24 fuel season and the first lump-sum payment issued to their nominated bank account on 5 October 2023.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
