A midlands Junior Minister is telling people to check again if they qualify for fuel allowance this winter.
Meath West TD Damien English says changes brought in by the government could mean an extra 80,000 can claim the support.
The scheme can now be applied for online, and the Department for Social Protection has also doubled the savings threshold for applications.
Deputy English says the income limits for the Fuel Allowance Scheme have changed and it means many more people will be able to avail of it:
