The person concerned applied for fuel allowance on 23 September 2021. Following a means assessment, they were awarded Fuel from 24 September 2021 and were notified in writing on 04 December 2021. They are currently in receipt of the allowance in the form of lump sum payments.

The person concerned submitted another application for fuel allowance on 7 September 2022. As self-employed income was declared for 2021, their entitlement will be reviewed.  The Fuel Allowance will remain in payment pending this review.  They will be notified of the outcome of the review in writing. 

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
