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:

Respiratory

Limited Mobility
