Frequently asked questions

Does receiving Income Support make me eligible for the Warm Homes Plan in BT9?

Yes. Income Support is one of the qualifying means-tested benefits for the Warm Homes Plan. If you receive Income Support and your BT9 home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you are very likely to qualify for funded energy improvements. Submit the eligibility form to confirm what your property qualifies for.

What home improvements can I get on Income Support?

Eligible BT9 households on Income Support can apply for loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, underfloor insulation, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, and smart heating controls, depending on the property's energy performance and suitability.

Do all Income Support claimants qualify?

Not automatically. You also need to meet the property condition requirement, primarily an EPC rating of D or below. The work must be on your main residence. Owner-occupiers and private tenants with landlord permission can both apply. The free eligibility check confirms your specific circumstances.

Can I apply if I am renting my home in BT9?

Yes, private tenants and housing association tenants on Income Support can apply, provided their landlord gives written consent to the work. Submit the form and we will guide you through the steps, including how to approach your landlord.
