If you or a member of your household has a qualifying health condition, you may be eligible for energy-saving home improvements with Local Authority Flexibility Scheme .

These home improvements, such as better insulation, energy-efficient heating systems, and improved ventilation, can significantly improve indoor air quality, maintain stable temperatures, and reduce dampness and mold. This not only creates a more comfortable living environment but can also alleviate symptoms of certain health conditions, reduce flare-ups, and support overall well-being by minimizing exposure to triggers like cold, drafts, or poor air circulation. By improving energy efficiency, these upgrades can also lower energy costs, making it easier for households to maintain a warm and healthy home.

See the full list of qualifying health conditions below, which often include respiratory illnesses like asthma, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, and conditions that affect mobility or the immune system.
