A large part of the relief comes through the pension system. It goes to all seniors as a payment just before Christmas. That's universal. Then there's more targeted relief for seniors claiming various benefits where there are supplements to those benefits. So that does vary a little bit with different programs as well.
Most of the variation comes in the applications needed and in who gets improvements to their dwelling. There's not much variation in the cash payments that are made direct to people that they can spend on fuel, but evidence shows that those households often have higher priorities. They still remain living in cold dwellings and use the money to buy food and pay for other expenses.
So there are hypothecated improvements to improve the warmth of the house. The cash payment is meant to be used to help meet the costs of heating, but it's often used for other things that are of greater priority to those elderly people.
