Government to increase fuel allowance with thousands of homes to ... (BreakingNews.ie)

There is also a “strong desire” in Government to expand the eligibility criteria to allow more people to receive the payment.

It is understood there is “broad agreement” that more people should be entitled to the payment, as in many cases households that need the additional help only exceed the threshold by a small amount. Currently, around 375,000 households across the country are in receipt of the allowance, but the “qualification net” is expected to increase significantly. A source said: “There will be a number of strands to the fuel allowance payment, including increasing the weekly rate, probably from January, and a cost-of-living measure will see a one-off €100 payment before Christmas.”
