The back to school clothing and footwear allowance scheme (BSCFA) is administered on behalf of the Department by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive (HSE). Applications for the allowance may be made between the beginning of June and the end of September each year.

The North-Western area of the HSE has advised that the person concerned made an application for BSCFA on 7 July 2008. He will be notified of the decision as soon as a determination has been made on his entitlement to the allowance.
