For the period April to June 2024, discretionary assistance fund statistics, analysed by age and local authority.
This is the latest release in the series: Discretionary Assistance Fund statistics
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.
The most up-to-date data on the DAF, as well as additional monthly breakdowns, can be found on StatsWales. To help users interpret the data more information on data quality can be found in the DAF quality report.
