Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2020
463. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of a fuel allowance application by a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39610/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraFree fuel (FF) allowance is a means tested payment, payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people. The person concerned was awarded FF with effect from 2 October 2019 and he continues to qualify for this allowance. On 29 October 2019 a letter issued informing him of this.
FF allowance is paid during the winter months only and the first payment for this FF season issued to the person concerned on 23 September 2020.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
