Shame as we live below the altitude needed for this payment. 294meters.

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
But it is certainly a good thing for those who live higher up in the villages that have really cold weather

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
Fuel allowance in Cyprus is for villages from 600 m sea level and above. So Tsada is not high enough however Koili is....

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
That is a shame as there are some homes in Tsada that are over 600mts.
But I assume they have to pick a point in the village rather than measure the height of individual houses

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
There are only 3-4 houses belonging to Tsada, a bit down of the large photo-voltaic park with trackers which are 608 m sea level, 200 m from the border to Koili village. You can see them on Dominic's street view images...

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
We got the winter payment when we lived in Tsada so it may be worth checking at the council office to see if you qualify
Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
Certainly on Google Earth Pro, a number of areas are shown as above 600 mts

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
If my memory serves me right, then if the main church of the village is above 600 mtrs then the whole village is eligible.

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
I must admit that I got it wrong and parts of Tsada (church area) are just above 600 m, however other parts of Tsada (Vikla) or Olympos are well below this 600 m limit (400-500 m) and I wonder if this poor people get also the fuel allowance for their villas.

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
I am fairly sure that Uncle D is correct, it is the height of the church above sea level.

If they live in Cyprus full time yes, to be honest Vikla is like a ghost town most of the time so I guess that there aren't many permanent residents there.cyprusmax47 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 4:01 pm I must admit that I got it wrong and parts of Tsada (church area) are just above 600 m, however other parts of Tsada (Vikla) or Olympos are well below this 600 m limit (400-500 m) and I wonder if this poor people get also the fuel allowance for their villas.

Re: Winter fuel allowance Cyprus
Tsada is on the official list of qualifying villages. It says 620m for the height. Maybe that’s an average.
