The information which formed the basis of the means assessment for fuel allowance in this case was taken from the claimant's income from employment for 2009. As the Department has no evidence of cessation of the claimant's employment, and he did not indicate cessation of his employment in his claim form, income for 2010 was taken to be the same as that for 2009, for the purposes of the means assessment.
If the person concerned has ceased employment, he should provide a copy of his P45 to this office at his earliest convenience. His entitlement to fuel allowance will then be re-examined and he will be informed in writing of the outcome without delay.
