Who can get Local welfare assistance?
Crisis and community-care style help. Discretionary. A public fund when paid under a council’s local welfare scheme. Not an entitlement.
- Paid by Your council.
- The catalogue looks for: Savings are low.
- The catalogue looks for: The household is in a short-term crisis or needs help to stay in the community.
- The catalogue looks for: The council scheme is open.
- This is not a decision. The department or the council decides.
