The Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance will issue automatically to 106,460 people in the week ending Friday, 17th July along with their regular weekly social welfare payment.
I am delighted that over 100,000 parents and family members will have their Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance payment for 2015 issued automatically with their weekly social welfare payment. This is a very important payment to many families as it helps to provide with the necessary costs for growing children as they head back to school in the autumn. The early notice received by parents and family members that they will receive the payment in July allows them to have certainty and plan accordingly when preparing their child or children in their return to school.
Anyone who did not receive notification by the 12th June should apply to the Department of Social Protection at the earliest opportunity and will be notified by the Department directly either by text or letter. I would urge anyone who feels they are entitled to this payment and have did not receive notice to request a form by calling 1890 66 22 44 or by texting FORM BTSCFA followed by your name and address to 51909.
