Thousands of people in Ireland are eligible to avail of a little-known social welfare payment.
Many could be receiving €130 a year in the form of a Telephone Support Allowance (TSA), which is an additional weekly benefit for those on certain social welfare payments and many are not aware of it.
With the cost-of-living crisis continuing to cause concern for much of the country, the TSA has been designed to help certain social welfare recipients in relation to the cost of communications or home alert systems.
