Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2022
372. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection when a fuel allowance application will be processed for a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; the reason for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60785/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned was awarded a fuel allowance at the weekly rate of €33.00 with effect from the 14th October 2022. She was also awarded the telephone support allowance at the weekly rate of €2.50 from the same date. Payment will commence on the 9th of December 2022, at her nominated Post Office. All arrears due will also be paid on the date. Decision letters to that effect have issued to her home address.
As a result of the cost-of-living measures announced in the budget, the person concerned will receive a fuel allowance lump sum of €400 which will also be paid at her nominated Post Office on the 9th December 2022
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
