Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance scheme 2014
Parents who are on a social welfare payment/taking part in a training employment scheme or income is under the recommended income threshold and have children aged from four years may be eligible for this allowance.
The Department of Social Protection have stated that they will pay a number of customers automatically which means a lot of families will not have to apply for this payment manually. If you have not receiv…ed an automatic payment by the 9th of June 2014, I would recommend that you fill in an application form.
