Fuel allowance is a means-tested payment to assist householders towards the cost of their heating needs.

According to the records of my Department, the person concerned has not applied for the Fuel Allowance.

I have arranged for an application form to issue. On receipt of the completed application form, their entitlement will be examined.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
