The back-to-school clothing and footwear allowance (BSCFA) is administered on my behalf by the Community Welfare division of the Health Service Executive (HSE).

The Dublin/Mid-Leinster Area of the HSE has advised that it has no record of an application for BSCFA from the person concerned. If she wishes to apply, she should contact the Community Welfare Officer at her local health centre as soon as possible to enable her entitlement to an allowance to be determined.
