Denbighshire County Council is working through applications for the Cost of Living Discretionary Fund and the main Cost of Living Scheme on behalf of Welsh Government.
Already a
total of 4312 payments worth £495,195 have been made for the Cost of Living
Discretionary Fund to qualifying residents in Band E who pay by Direct Debit.
An application
form for more qualifying residents will be available from September 21 for this
fund and will stay open until March 31, 2023.
For the main
Cost of Living Scheme, a total of 27,014 of £150 payments have been made to
qualifying residents, totalling to a value of £4,052,100.
The main Cost
of Living scheme closes on the September 30, 2022 and a large number of
qualifying residents have still not applied, so the council is urging those to
complete an application form as soon as possible to ensure they receive their
payment.
Councillor
Gwyneth Ellis, lead member for finance, performance and strategic assets said
“The council is working very hard to process these payments as supporting our
residents is a key priority in the current economic climate.”
“We want to
urge all those eligible for support and have still not applied, to do so. Those
who are unsure whether they are eligible should use the council website to
check requirements before it is too late.”
