A one-time social welfare payment can help with expenses like electricity bills, home repairs, and more. The Additional Needs Payment is assessed by a Community Welfare Officer (CWO), who considers individual circumstances. The payment is available to those with incomes below a certain limit, but in some cases, the CWO can still provide assistance.
People can qualify for a once-off social welfare payment that can be used for a variety of things, including electricity bills, home repairs and more.
The government stated that in some cases, the CWO can still provide the payment if their income exceeds the weekly household income limit. How do you apply for the Additional Needs Payment? To apply for the scheme you must post your application or make an appointment with your local CWO. To get the application form you can download it here and send it to your local Community Welfare Service.
