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 Fuel Allowance for the person concerned was awarded from 06 January 2023. They were notified in writing on the 22 December 2022.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
