The Fuel Allowance is a contribution towards the energy costs of a household. The payment of €33 per week for 28 weeks (a total of €924 each year) is paid from late September to April.

The person concerned was awarded the Fuel Allowance from 6 January 2023. The person concerned was notified in writing on 06 December 2022.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
