Deadline looms for final appeals under Aswesuma Welfare Scheme

Date:

July 21, Colombo (LNW): Today (21) will be the deadline for individuals to submit appeals under the second phase of the Aswesuma Welfare Benefits Programme, a key social support initiative aimed at providing assistance to vulnerable households across the country.

Officials from the Welfare Benefits Board have confirmed that close to 30,000 appeals have already been lodged as part of this latest round, reflecting a strong public response and continued demand for welfare assistance.

The programme, which targets low-income families and those facing economic hardship, offers financial support intended to ease the burden of rising living costs and ensure a basic standard of living.

Those who believe they have been unfairly excluded from the scheme — or who need to correct or update their personal details — are being urged to act immediately, as today is the final deadline for submissions. After this date, no new appeals will be accepted for this phase of the initiative.

Appeals must be filed through the respective Divisional Secretariat offices, which serve as the official intake points for documentation and queries. Once submitted, the appeals are forwarded to the Welfare Benefits Board for further assessment and verification.

Applicants are encouraged to double-check supporting documents and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements outlined in the programme’s guidelines.
