The Fuel Allowance is a contribution towards the energy costs of a household. The payment of €33 per week is payable for 28 weeks (a total of €924 each year) to assist households with their energy costs.
The Fuel Allowance payable at the weekly rate of €33.00 was awarded to the person concerned from 4th October 2024. Arrears covering the period 4 October 2024 to 16 January 2025 will issue to the person concerned on Friday 17 January 2025. Thereafter, it will be paid weekly.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
