Ateb
Atebwyd gan Cabinet Minister for Finance (Elin Jones)
The Welsh Government is working with local authorities and other partners to understand the impacts of the recent wildfires on communities across Wales, including those in Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni.
Local authorities may be able to seek support through the Emergency Financial Assistance Scheme (Bellwin) in respect of exceptional costs arising from an emergency. Officials are in contact with local authorities to understand whether authorities wish to submit claims under the scheme.
Individuals experiencing severe financial hardship as a result of a crisis situation may also be eligible for support through the Welsh Government's Discretionary Assistance Fund, including Emergency Assistance Payments to help meet essential costs.
