'Until now, they could apply for €978. 'We are now providing an additional €1,533 per family, bringing the total to approximately €2,556. An additional €1,278 can be applied for to replace equipment burned or destroyed in the fires," said Social Affairs Minister Borislav Gutsanov, as quoted by BTA.
