Question from: County Councillor Matthew Dorrance Subject: Winter Fuel Support Scheme
Question:
In the Welsh Government press briefing on 15/2/22, the Minister for Finance and Local Government said that 50% of eligible households in Wales had not applied for the Winter Fuel Support Scheme.
What is the comparable figure for Powys?
What is the Council doing to ensure that eligible households in Powys do not miss out on this vital support?
Minutes: Response by the Portfolio Holder:
The take up rate for the scheme in Powys has been 44% against Welsh Government assumed projection figures on take up. The Council identified from its own databases potential eligible households and wrote to them, encouraging all to apply and also used the Council website and social media campaign via the Comms team to generate publicity to advise of the grant.
