Does she have mains gas? If so she may qualify for Eco when it comes out again, if not she can still qualify for Eco for an oil or LPG boiler but hardly anyone is actually approved to fit oil or LPG under Eco which is a bit unfortunate.

Another option is renewables where she can get the rhi to help cover the capital costs, a heat pump would prob be most suitable of the renewable technologies available.
