The Household Benefits Package is a set of allowances which help with the costs of running a household. It includes allowances towards covering electricity or gas costs as well as the television licence.

An application form for the Household Benefits Package has issued to the person concerned. Alternatively, the person concerned can apply online for their Household Benefits package on if they have a Public Services Card (PSC) and a verified MyGovId account.

On receipt of the completed application, the person's entitlement to HHB will be examined. The person will be notified, in writing, of the outcome. I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
