I am advised that the person concerned applied for assistance with the cost of repairing her heating system and a cheque for €760 was issued to her by my Department for the cost of this work. The cheque which was issued to the person concerned was made payable to the repair company which she identified to undertake the work, but it was returned uncashed by her with an indication that the Company involved was not now in a position to undertake the work.  

It is open to the person concerned to submit a new application for assistance and this will be considered. According to the records of my Department, the person concerned does not currently have a pending application for Supplementary Welfare Allowance. 

I trust this clarifies the matter.
