At least if the farmer has the receipts, you can do something about it. This is hitting a very vulnerable group and there is really no money involved. Something I was made aware of is that even when the Minister raised the income limit on the fuel allowance very generously, there was still an issue. I was given some statistics recently in the reply to a parliamentary question, for which I was grateful, on how many people, in respect of the increase for a qualified adult, IQA, for example, were getting the full rate of whatever payment. For people caught by the means test, it is very vicious when they get caught and they incidentally put it in the bank accounts in two names rather than one.
