Around 33,000 families benefit from the energy vouchers
Thousands of families have not received the government energy benefit vouchers which they were supposed to receive this year.
Around 33,000 families on social welfare are the beneficiaries of the energy vouchers to ease off the pressure for families in financial difficulties.
The vouchers are expected to be presented with the settlement of the water and electricity bills, however thousands of families cannot pay their utility bills because they have not received the benefit vouchers.
