How to apply

Each local authority will have its own criteria that have to be met, but the overarching idea is to increase the number of households that are eligible for heating and insulation grants.

There are four different ways in which you might qualify for LA Flex funding via your local council:

ROUTE 1

Your household has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of either E, F or G, with a gross household income that is less than the threshold set by your local authority.

* This cap applies irrespective of the property’s size, composition, or region.

ROUTE 2

Your household has an EPC rating of D-G and also meets a combination of any two of the following proxy routes:

Proxy 1)

  • Your home is in England, in Lower-layer Super Output Areas 1-3 (LSOA)
  • Your home is in Welsh provision LSOA 1-3 on the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019,
  • Your home is on the Index of Multiple Deprivation for 2020, published by the Scottish Government

Proxy 2)
A member of your household receives a Council Tax rebate

Proxy 3)
You are a householder classified as being vulnerable to living in a cold home, as identified in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidance

Proxy 4)
You are a householder receiving free school meals due to low income

Proxy 5)
You are a householder supported by an existing LA-run scheme

Proxy 6)
You’ve been referred to the LA for support by either your energy supplier, Citizen’s Advice, or Citizen’s Advice Scotland.

 

ROUTE 3

Your household has an EPC rating of D-G and:

  • You’ve been identified by your doctor or GP as low-income and vulnerable
  • You live with someone who may be more at risk from the cold.

These health conditions may be related to cardiovascular, respiratory, immunosuppressive, or limited mobility conditions.

ROUTE 4

Suppliers and Local Authorities can apply to the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on your behalf when they have identified you as a low-income and vulnerable household that is not already eligible under the existing routes.
