A fund has been granted by the Government to help pensioners during this very difficult economic period. We are currently working with Worcestershire & Herefordshire Councils to distribute payments and vouchers to those who are eligible.

You may be eligible if:
• you are a pensioner
• you have a disability or a long-term health condition
• you have medical equipment that increases your home energy consumption
• you are a carer of any age

In order to qualify, your income must be less than:
• £24,570 (£2048pm) for single adult households with no children
• £31,000 (£2583pm) for households with multiple occupancy (1+ adults + children)
You may be eligible for more than 1 payment if you fit the criteria.
Please contact us to find out if you are eligible.
I live in Herefordshire - am I eligible?
You may be eligible to a grocery voucher to the value of £150 for single occupancy households, or £200 for couples:
• below £21,000 income for single households, or below £28,000 for couple households excluding non means tested benefits, such as Attendance Allowance

Please contact us to find out if you are eligible.
Could you be entitled to more?
We know that money matters. So, did you know that you could be eligible for some extra benefits? We can help you check your eligibility and help you get what you're entitled to. Our Information and Advice Teams are holding extra drop-in advice sessions in rural communities.
Please contact us to find out when we are next in your area.
Home Energy Checks
We all know that winter happens every year. But with increasingly unpredictable weather, it's important to think about getting ready for winter in advance.
We have secured funding to support the most vulnerable people with a FREE Home Energy Check. Our Home Energy Checks provide information and advice on how to stay warm and well and include the installation of energy saving equipment.
