    Hey!

    Anyone know when this kicks in? And if it is provided automatically or on application?

    Thanks

    June. Only for those in receipt of the Living Alone Increase and the Fuel Allowance. You’ll get it automatically if you have these two things.

    Maryanne it’s going to be €10 per month and you’ll only get it if you have the living alone increase and the fuel allowance.
    It’s starting in June.

    So you only get it if you live alone? I’m on disability and fuel allowance and electric does that mean I won’t get it?
