Frequently asked questions
Does Attendance Allowance qualify me for home energy grants in BN50?
Attendance Allowance is recognised as a qualifying benefit under the Warm Homes Plan. If you receive it and your BN50 home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you may be eligible for funded insulation, heating, or renewable energy measures. Submit the form to check your eligibility.
What improvements can I get funded?
Eligible measures under the Warm Homes Plan include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, internal and external wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The specific measures available depend on your property type and its current energy rating.
How much grant could I receive?
Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded improvements. The exact grant value depends on which measures are required and the survey findings for your BN50 property. There is no cost to apply or to receive a survey.
Is a warm, well-insulated home important for Attendance Allowance claimants?
Yes. Many Attendance Allowance claimants have health conditions that are aggravated by cold or damp homes. The Warm Homes Plan is designed precisely to help households with health vulnerabilities reduce heating costs and improve home comfort, which can have a direct positive impact on wellbeing.
Do I need to be a homeowner to apply?
Owner-occupiers are the primary applicants, but private tenants with landlord permission can also apply. Housing association and council tenants may be able to access funding through landlord routes. Submit the form and we will confirm which options are available for your BN50 property.
Is the eligibility check free?
Yes. The online form is free and takes under 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited local installer will contact you to arrange a free survey. You are under no obligation to proceed.
