The first installment for the heating allowance will be paid by December 21. In fact, this year more citizens will receive it due to the increased heating costs. The deadline for submitting applications for the allowance on the relevant AADE website (www.aade.gr/mythermansi) expires on 9 December 2022.
Beneficiaries will receive the support they are entitled to 3 doses. Old beneficiaries can receive as an advance the total amount of the heating allowance that was paid to them during the previous winter season. The advance payment will be offset against subsequent payments of the allowance.
Who are the beneficiaries?
The income limits for granting this year's heating allowance have been increased to 16.000 euro for singles and in 24.000 euros for married people, increased by 3.000 euros for each child. Alongside, allowance has increased from 300 euro multiplied by degree-days, in 350 euro.

So, new beneficiaries who do not use natural gas and old beneficiaries who stop using natural gas and replace it with one of the other subsidized fuels or with district heating can receive a subsidy of up to 1.600 euro.
