Prior to the commencement of all participants on the rural social scheme details of a person's social welfare entitlement, including possible entitlement to the fuel allowance, are sought from the Department of Social and Family Affairs by the relevant implementing body. In this case, Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teoranta, Achill, County Mayo, sought the details of the person concerned from the Department of Social and Family Affairs. The documentation completed by the Department of Social and Family Affairs, which has responsibility for the fuel allowance scheme, does not indicate that the person concerned is entitled to payment of the fuel allowance.
