Discretionary assistance fund: January to March 2024

The Discretionary Assistance Fund (DAF) is a program run by Welsh government which provides payments to people in an emergency or who need help to live independently. Payments are split into two types depending on which category they fall into.

  • Emergency Assistance Payments (EAPs) help pay for essential costs, such as food, gas, electricity, clothing or emergency travel.
  • Individual Assistance Payments (IAPs) help people live independently in their home or a property that they are moving into.
