The Household Benefits Package is a set of allowances aimed at assisting qualifying recipients with their household running costs. It includes an allowance towards their electricity or gas costs, as well as the cost of their television licence.

The current average turnaround time for Household Benefit Package applications is one week.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
