Do I Qualify?

There are generally 3 routes to qualifying for energy grants here in the UK  and you will normally only need 1 element to secure your grant. The 3 routes are:

  • Low Household Income – Typically less than £31k a year
  • Medical Conditions – See list below
  • Qualifying Benefits – See list below

Medical Conditions

Common medical conditions that may qualify for support under energy grant schemes often include:

  • Respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis.
  • Cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease, hypertension (High blood pressure) or Angina.
  • Rheumatological conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
  • Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease.
  • Immunocompromised conditions.
  • Mental health conditions exacerbated by living in cold or damp conditions, such as depression and anxiety.

It’s important to note that eligibility for energy grant support based on medical conditions may require confirmation from a medical professional or healthcare provider. Additionally, the specific criteria for eligibility may vary depending on the scheme and the energy supplier offering the support.

Typically, Energy Grant schemes prioritize households receiving certain means-tested benefits or those considered vulnerable.

Here are some common benefits that have been associated with eligibility for previous iterations of the energy grant schemes:

• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit)
• Universal Credit (with an income threshold)

• Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
• Attendance Allowance
• Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
• Constant Attendance Allowance
• Severe Disablement Allowance

• Child Tax Credit (with an income threshold)
• Working Tax Credit (with an income threshold)

• Housing Benefit
• Council Tax Reduction (Council Tax Support)

• War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement
• Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (with a reduced capacity for work)

It’s important to note that eligibility for energy grants may also extend to households with specific vulnerabilities, such as those with certain medical conditions exacerbated by living in cold or damp homes, households with young children, elderly residents, or individuals living in fuel poverty.

To determine eligibility for energy grants and to access energy-saving measures under the scheme, individuals are typically required to undergo an assessment process, which may include confirming eligibility for qualifying benefits or demonstrating vulnerability through other means.
