Leicester City Council
Low income and Low EPC rating households
Even if you do not receive any benefits, you could still qualify for a grant under different criteria.
✔ EPC rating of D, E, F & G
✔
Gross Annual Household income
There is support for those who are living in 'fuel poverty' in Leicester. This set of criteria applies even if you are not currently in receipt of any benefit.
Living in fuel poverty can be categorised by having both a low gross annual income for the household, as-well as having indicators of high heating costs, for example an EPC rating of D, E, F or G.
All criteria must be met in order to qualify, you must be the homeowner.
The thresholds for household incomes can be seen in the table below.
In order to be eligible the income for the household must be below what is specified.

What are the next steps?
After you submit your application for a grant, we will then...
✔ Confirm that you meet all the necessary criteria
✔ Check your annual household income and how many children are living in your home.
✔ Confirm your status (That you own your own home and specific application criteria i.e. EPC rating)
We will also need to ask for the current make and model of your boiler or, for First Time Central heating grants, what method of heating your home currently uses.
Having all of this information to hand will help to speed up your application process.
