Who is eligible for fully funded energy grants?

Only one household member (adult or child) needs to meet the qualifying criteria to apply

If your home is poorly equipped to shield you from the cold British weather, with an EPC Rating of "E" or lower, then you have 3 ways to qualify. You can use our EPC checker here if you're unsure if your home has an energy rating.

You or someone in your home should have at least one of the following:

​ A qualifying medical condition:

A cardiovascular condition (e.g. stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure)
 

A respiratory disease (e.g. Asthma, COPD, Emphysema)

 

Limited mobility – a condition which impacts movement (e.g. arthritis)
 

Immunosuppression - a condition which impacts the immune system (e.g. steroids or chemotherapy)
 

 OR  Receive a qualifying benefit, such as:

Child Tax Credit
 

Universal Credit

Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance

 

Income Related Employment & Support Allowance

Income Support

Pension Guarantee Credit

 

Working Tax Credit

Housing Benefit

Pension Savings Credit

 

OR

 

  Any home with a combined annual household income under £31,000

 

 

Who Is Not Eligible For The Grant?

Currently, properties connected to mains gas heating or with an EPC rating of A, B, C or D will not qualify for the free government heating grant eligibility through this scheme. For the most up-to-date exclusions, our team is happy to advise.
