The Humanitarian Assistance Scheme (HAS), administered by my department through the Community Welfare Service (CWS), was activated on 23 January 2025 to assist householders affected across the country by Storm Éowyn.
According to the records of the Department, the person concerned applied for a HAS stage 1 payment to assist with the additional costs incurred as a result of Storm Éowyn. I am pleased to advise you that the person concerned has been awarded a payment towards the additional costs incurred as a result of the enduring power outages. The person concerned will be notified of this outcome in writing and payment will issue to their nominated bank account in 2 – 3 working days.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
