Grant For Windows?

Hello, im moving home in a few weeks into a privatly rented flat, however the window in the living room is a very large single pale wooden frame, which isnt in the best condition and no storage heater in the living room, so its going to get very cold at night, so i was wondering if there were any grants available for a new Double glazed window? I get Income support and DLA and live in cumbria, hope you can help

Thanks,
J

    I agree with paddedjohn - it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that his rental property is kept in good condition. Is there any heating in the living room? Could you use thermal curtains?
