yorkiepudd Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Try this page for eligibility details and this page to apply for a grant. Lots of people on benefits qualify - for Income suport you must have a child under 16 - or get Child Tax Credit or a disability premium on other benefits. You can have any number of measures done - there is a total amount of money that you get and it can be spent in one go or in several parts but it must be used before 2010.

lyndix Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I`ve had warmfront grant! They insulated my loft last year, applied again about 3 months ago, they`ve been and draught proofed all my windows and doors, which has made a huge difference and are due to come back in the next couple of weeks to do cavity walls. You need to be in receipt of income support/housing benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain working famalies do qualify for the grant - if you receive CTC or WTC with a disability element, or DLA witha care element. You don't automatically get it on IS unless you have children under 16 living there, or anyone over 60 in receipt of PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After working for 49 years and ending up on disability I suppose we could had sold the Big Issue or begged on street corners from a wheelchair.
