The 1.3 million beneficiaries of the heating allowance have to submit an application on the platform of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) until December 6.
They will receive 60% of the amount they are entitled to as an advance payment by December 23.
The second installment will be granted in April. The total fund that will be distributed for the heating allowance amounts to 270 million euros.

Areas that face more intense cold during the winter months will receive a higher subsidy compared to last year’s winter season.
