I have received an update from Minister Heather Humphreys on the application processes for the fuel allowance expansion.
People can apply either via the new online application system or by submitting a paper application form to my Department.
For ease of reference for you and your staff, the three methods to apply are set out below:
Online Application (Everybody)

I hope this information is of assistance to you.
Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
