QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the manager how many grant applications for housing adaptation grants have been returned to applicants due to Statement of Liability missing for 2022 - YTD

REPLY:

The administrative guidance to local authorities for the HAG, MAG and HOP schemes has been provided directly by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The amount of grant payable depends on the household income for the previous tax year.  Local authorities are required to be satisfied that the applicant qualifies for the grant and is awarded the correct percentage. Therefore, a Statement of Liability for the previous tax year is required for each application.
