128. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a person (details supplied) who is in receipt of the pandemic unemployment payment is entitled to the fuel allowance payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32269/20]

The Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) is not a qualifying payment for receipt of Fuel Allowance. 

However it does not prevent another member of the household from receiving a Fuel Allowance payment if they are in receipt of a qualifying payment.  In assessing entitlement to a Fuel Allowance, the PUP is disregarded for means testing purposes.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
