Fuel allowance is a means tested payment, payable to people who either live alone or only with certain other qualified people.

The person concerned is currently in receipt of Disability Allowance. She was in receipt of the weekly fuel allowance up to the 2 January 2018. She has been awarded the lump sum fuel allowance from the 3 January 2018. This lady was notified of this decision on the 4 December 2017 and the lump sum fuel allowance issued to her nominated payment method on the 3 January 2018.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
