Unless you are already claiming benefits you do not get fuel allowance you have to claim it .i have never been on benefits and scraped by.im now 72 was told about fuel all when I was 63 I then claimed but was told not allowed back payments as I did not claim at 60.so all these rich celebs that are making an issue about returning it as they don't need it must have asked for it in the first place, I cannot imagine they were on social benefits at the time
