Fuel allowance means test? Savings counted?

Can anyone tell me how it's decided if you can get fuel allowance? I thought it was automatic for those on OPF and JSA etc but I noticed that on the form it wants to know about savings of everyone? My mum was hoping to apply as I'm a student but I'm worried the money I've saved for college may stop her entitlement? Cheers…

Yes she is, just me and my little sister in school. I'm moving away to go to college now but have money saved in a current account to put myself through college.
