Frequently asked questions
Does Jobseeker's Allowance qualify me for home energy grants in BN2?
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) is a qualifying means-tested benefit under the Warm Homes Plan. If you receive it and your BN2 home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you may be eligible for funded energy improvements. Submit the form to check your eligibility.
Which type of JSA qualifies?
Income-based JSA is the qualifying form under the Warm Homes Plan, as it is a means-tested benefit. Contribution-based JSA may not qualify on its own. Submit the eligibility form and we will confirm against the current scheme rules.
What improvements are available?
Funded measures include loft insulation, cavity and wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The measures offered are based on a free survey of your BN2 property.
How much could I receive?
Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded improvements depending on the measures required and property type. The eligibility check and survey are both free with no commitment.
What if I move to Universal Credit before the work is complete?
Universal Credit is also a qualifying benefit under the Warm Homes Plan. If your benefit changes during the process, you should remain eligible. Inform the installer of any changes so they can confirm continued eligibility for your BN2 property.
Is the eligibility check free?
Yes. The online form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in BN2 will contact you to arrange a free home survey.
