PARENTS URGED TO APPLY NOW FOR SCHOOL CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR ALLOWANCE

LABOUR Party TD Seán Sherlock is urging constituents who may have an entitlement to the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance to make their application as soon as possible

The Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance (BTSCFA) is to help you meet the cost of uniforms and footwear for children attending school. The scheme operates from 1 June to 30 September each year and is provided by the HSE as part of the Supplementary Welfare Scheme.

"In light of the numbers who are currently out of work there is going to be huge demand for assistance under this scheme. Therefore, to ensure that applications are processed in time for the September school term people really need to get them in now," said Deputy Sherlock.

Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance application forms are available from the Community Welfare Officer from the local HSE office.
