Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Social Protection if he is aware that a State pensioner who has an occupational pension may fail the fuel allowance means test because their occupational pension brings their income above the prescribed limit; if he is aware that because they do not qualify for fuel allowance, they consequently lose that gateway to the warmer homes scheme; if he will review this issue; and if he will consider whether receipt of the State pension should itself become a qualifying category for the warmer homes scheme.
