Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 February 2024
243. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of eligibility for fuel allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6029/24]
View answerThe person concerned is employed on a Community Employment (CE) Scheme. The Department notified the employer (the CE Sponsor) on 3rd November 2023 that the person was entitled to fuel allowance with effect from 25th September 2023. I understand that the person was paid the allowance weekly from a current date and that arrears were paid in the week beginning 20th November 2023.
The person concerned remains in receipt of fuel allowance on a weekly basis.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
