Written answers
Fuel allowance (FF) is a means tested payment, payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people. The second named person submitted an application for FF on 31 August 2017.
Based on the information provided to the Department, the person concerned did not qualify for this allowance as their household included people who were not in a qualifying category. They were notified of this decision in writing on 16 September 2017.
To date no further application or request for a review has been received from the person concerned regarding their FF allowance.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
