My Department has no record of receiving an application for Fuel Allowance from the person concerned.

If the person wishes to make a claim, they should submit a completed application for Fuel Allowance (Form NFS1), which is available for download on www.gov.ie or from their local post office, to State Pension Non Contributory, Social Welfare Services, College Road , Sligo.

Their application will be decided based on the eligibility conditions for the scheme and they will be notified in writing of the outcome.  

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
