  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make provision to allow Discretionary Support in respect of fuel to be paid as a grant. They do so by removing the exclusion from Schedule 2 to the Discretionary Support Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016.\nAwards for fuel were previously excluded from being the subject of a grant of Discretionary Support.\nRegulation 2 omits paragraph 19 of Schedule 2. This removes the exclusion and provides that Discretionary Support claims for fuel may be considered as a grant award.\nAn impact assessment has been produced for this Statutory Rule.",
