Which payments count for the Warmer Homes Scheme and what else should I check before applying?

A GrantWise Team Answered by

SEAI’s published qualifying-payment checklist generally includes Fuel Allowance, Working Family Payment, One-Parent Family Payment, and Jobseeker’s Allowance or Disability Allowance where the relevant duration and child-age conditions apply. You usually also need to own and live in the property, which must meet the scheme’s age requirements. Keep proof of your payment, identity, home ownership and address ready, as further documents may be requested. Eligibility and available measures are assessed for each household, so check the latest list on SEAI.ie before applying.
