    I never got Fuel Allowance while I was on SWA but I applied to my Community Welfare Officer and she granted me a special needs payment but it was less than half my fuel allowance.

    Fuel Allowance is not usually paid on SWA

    If you've been on basic Supplementary Welfare Allowance for 391 days (15 months) you may qualify for Fuel Allowance.
