(a) As at 11 October 2019, the total number of Country Age Pension Fuel Card holders was 52,875.
(b) and (c) It is not possible to provide an answer to these two questions. Eligibility for a Fuel Card is based on regional residence and pension payment type.
Age/couple status is neither provided to, nor recorded by, the Department of Transport as administrators of the Fuel Card scheme.
