Fuel allowance is paid for the heating season which generally runs from October to April. It is awarded from the first payday after the date of receipt of application. In this instance the application for person concerned was received on 22 July 2013. The 2013/2014 fuel allowance season commenced on 11 October 2013 and the fuel allowance payment was made to the person concerned from 11 October 2013 up to and including 10 April 2014. I am satisfied that the person concerned received her full fuel allowance entitlement and that there are no arrears due.
