Fuel Allowance and Casual Jobseeker's

irishbrain

Is the Fuel Allowance only paid for the weeks you're entitled to a Jobseeker's payment? (Assuming you're entitled to the Fuel Allowance)

To get Fuel Allowances you must be receiving -

Jobseekers allowances for 391 days - 15 months - Fuel Allowance is payable to people who have been getting a jobseeker’s payment for 391 days, if they satisfy the relevant qualifying conditions. Days of unemployment on Jobseeker's Benefit count towards the 391 days if the Jobseeker’s Benefit claim was immediately before the award of Jobseeker’s Allowance.

Only one Fuel Allowance is paid to a household.

It is paid to people who are dependent on long-term social welfare and who are unable to provide for their own heating needs.

Thanks, but do you get it on the weeks you've worked four days?

If you are not entitled to a weekly payment you won't receive the fuel allowance for that week.
