Start by checking the current list of qualifying social welfare payments and the scheme’s household and property requirements on the SEAI website. You can then submit an application to SEAI, usually with details of your home, ownership and the payment you receive; you may be asked for supporting evidence. If your application progresses, SEAI will arrange an assessment and advise which energy upgrades may be suitable, subject to the scheme’s criteria and available resources. SEAI makes the final decision, so contact them directly if you are unsure whether your payment or circumstances qualify.
