I understand that the applicant applied for the Warmer Homes Scheme in response to a mailshot issued by the Department of Social and Family Affairs on behalf of Sustainable Energy Ireland. The mailshot was issued to recipients of the fuel allowance and indicated that applications would be processed on a first come, first served basis. The application was received by SEI on 25 September. Due to the volume of applications received prior to receipt of the application referred, all funds available in 2009 were already committed. Sustainable Energy Ireland has placed the applicant on a waiting list for the scheme and, subject to available funding, will address her requirements next year.
