Free fuel (FF) allowance is a means tested payment, payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people. The person concerned was awarded FF with effect from 2 October 2019 and he continues to qualify for this allowance. On 29 October 2019 a letter issued informing him of this.
FF allowance is paid during the winter months only and the first payment for this FF season issued to the person concerned on 23 September 2020.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
