Energy Efficiency Grants Through the LA FLEX Scheme
The Local Authority Flexible Eligibility (LA FLEX) scheme is an extension of the UK government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme , designed to assist more households in qualifying for grants towards home improvements to reduce energy bills. Local councils are responsible for assessing household eligibility, ensuring that more residents can benefit from heating and insulation grants.
Understanding the LA FLEX Scheme
Previously, eligibility was limited to individuals receiving benefits. However, under the LA FLEX Scheme, the qualification criteria have been expanded, allowing many more households to access this grant.
- A household income less than £31,000 per year
- An NHS/GP Referral for health conditions (cardiovascular, respiratory, limited mobility or immunosuppressed )
