  (Code:PB_02_2012)

  The main questions are:

  •  How would the adjustment affect incomes and, in turn, fuel poverty?
  •  Is the current social security system able to mitigate the impact on fuel poverty?
  •  What are the additional costs on welfare outlays for the government?
  •  Would higher prices affect payment morale?
  •  What is our overall assessment of the impact of the assumed gas tariff increase?
