Dealing with emergencies - Discretionary Assistance Fund (DAF)

Under the Welsh Government Discretionary Assistance Fund (DAF), if you have experienced a disaster such as a flood or fire in your home you may be eligible for an Emergency Assistance Payment (EAP) grant to help with essential costs after an emergency.

If several properties are known to have been flooded we may issue a helpline number to assist those affected with claims and other allowances, such as discretionary relief from council tax where the property is incapable of occupation, or partial occupation due to extensive flood damage. Please note that the DAF fund is not available to second homes, holiday lets or landlords.
