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

An application for Fuel Allowance was received from the person concerned on 12 July 2022.

Based on the information provided to the Department, the person does not qualify for the allowance as their household means are in excess of the current limit. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 20 July 2022.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
