How many people applied and received the fuel support scheme, broken down by qualifying benefit in 2022-23?
As of 28 February 2023, Local Authorities across Wales reported that 316,342 households had applied to the Welsh Government Fuel Support Scheme. They have also reported that 341,468 households had received a payment under the Welsh Government Fuel Support Scheme (this figure includes some cases where the payment was made automatically, and no application was required).
We do not keep data on which one of qualifying benefits the applicant or their partner was in receipt of to qualify for a payment so it is not possible to provide a breakdown of households or individuals by qualifying benefit.
