energy grants for the elderly only?

[morninggirl]

someone told me this and i've not found anything about energy grants for anyone who isn't over a certain age...(i have been trying to ring my local Citizen's Advice Bureau to no avail so far today)

does anyone know anything on this or where i could find more info? thanks

i think it depends what sort of energy grants you're looking for. i tried to see if i could get one for aboiler recently but i would either need to be old or on benefits. i can get a grant towards cavity wall insulation though.

try the energy savings trust or your council

do you mean the winter fuel payment and i think there is something caLLEd a cold weather payment too

i did mean the winter fuel payment...

ok, i'll have a look and see what i can find... i wont be able to phone the CAB until tomorrow...

Try warm front or coldbusters. We're on benefits and are getting a coldbusters grant, they're going to replace the heating I think/hope.

It will be on your local council website.

Google might get you somewhere as well.

I don';t know about the fuel payment thingy though.

The winter fuel payment is only available to people over 60, however there may be other help available if you are on benefits/low income. It's definitely worth speaking to someone at the CAB/your local council/jobcentre plus
