FLEX Criteria

If you're NOT in receipt of benefits and you live in an area where your Local Authority operates a FLEX scheme, there are 2 different routes (that we support) to access ECO funding:

Route 1: Household Earnings

Household earns less than £31,000 (gross)

OR

Route 3: NHS Referrals

NHS referrals via your GP (or our contracted GP) who believes you are vulnerable to the affects of living in a cold home because you have one of these health conditions:

Cardiovascular

Respiratory

Limited Mobility

Immunosuppressed

We can help you if you live in one of the below Local Authority areas:
