Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 January 2023
411. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason a fuel allowance application was refused in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3232/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraFuel allowance is a means tested payment payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people.
The person concerned submitted an application for fuel allowance on 06 October 2022.
Based on the information provided to the Department, the person does not qualify for the allowance as their household consists of people who are not in a qualifying category.
The person concerned was notified of this decision in writing on 26 October 2022.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
