389. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of a person’s (details supplied) application for fuel allowance; when a decision is likely to be reached on this matter; if consideration will be given to awarding this allowance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54667/26]

An application for fuel allowance was received from the person concerned on 3 July 2026.  A letter issued to them on 14 July 2026 seeking more information to assist with the means test.  Once this information has been returned, a decision letter will issue to them.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
