Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 November 2022
91. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the correct level of fuel allowance payable in the case of persons (details supplied); if the full amount is being paid; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [55734/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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. One of the conditions for receipt of fuel allowance is that a person must satisfy a means test.
There is no record of a Fuel Allowance application for the persons concerned. I have arranged for an application to issue to them.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
