Fuel allowance is a means tested payment, payable to people who either live alone or live only with certain other qualified people.

Based on the information provided to the Department by this gentleman he does not qualify for the allowance as his household consists of people who are not in a qualifying category.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
