If you had a payment under this scheme last year, can you still get one this year as well?

Hi Newman2,

Good question.

We've just checked this with the Welsh Government and the answer is yes – if you got the payment last year, you can apply again for this year.

We've updated the story accordingly. 

Many thanks,
