I saw one figure that showed that up to 80,000 people will benefit from additional fuel allowance payments, which are much needed at the moment. Why would any of those 80,000 people not apply for a scheme that allows them to have their home almost entirely insulated for free? The Department would have to expect that the decision to increase the fuel allowance will blow its figures out of the water in terms of delivery.
