The Councilor for Older People of the Torrevieja City Council, Inmaculada Montesinos, reports that once the deadline for submitting applications to opt for aid for the Elderly has ended (single payment aid to groups vulnerable due to age and with limited economic resources ), 847 people have requested it. Each beneficiary of the aid will be able to collect a maximum of 400 euros, counting a budget item that amounts to 534,092.50 euros.
