Fuel allowance is a means tested payment payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people.
Based on the information provided to the department, this person concerned lives with someone in receipt of a State Contributory Pension (SPC).
A letter issued to the person concerned on 22 November 2022 informing them the Contributory Pensioner must apply for the fuel allowance.
An application for Fuel allowance was enclosed for the SPC recipient to apply for the Fuel allowance and submit the completed application to the National Fuel Scheme Section in Sligo who process the SPC payment.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
