In order to qualify for a Fuel Allowance, a person on Jobseeker’s Allowance must satisfy certain qualifying conditions including that the person must live alone or with a specified other, e.g. a qualified dependent and/or child. As the person concerned lives with another person, who is not a qualified dependent, and who does not have an entitlement in his own right, there is no entitlement to a Fuel Allowance.
