How Does the process work?
- We will confirm that you meet all the necessary criteria
- We'll then need to check what benefits you currently receive, your annual household income and how many children are living in your home.
- We will also confirm your status (whether you own your own home or you're a private tenant)
- We will ask for the current method of heating, if applicable, used within your home.
Having this information to hand will help us get your application processed a lot quicker.
