ECOFlex Eligibility
Even if you don't receive the benefits listed above, you may still qualify under ECOFlex. Your home must have an EPC rating of E-G if you rent or D-G if you own your home and your household income must be below £31,000.
You may also qualify if any of the following apply:
- Your home is within a specific postcode identified by your local council.
- You receive a council tax rebate (single-person occupancy excluded).

Another way to qualify is if you are identified by your GP as vulnerable to the cold and on a low income.
