Boiler grants for disabled people who don't receive PIP

mapleleaf1010

Hi

My boiler is over 30 years old and beyond repair. I need a new one but cannot afford it because I'm on a very low salary.

I'm autistic, dyslexic and asthmatic. My PIP application was turned down.

My local council cannot help me with a new boiler.

Any suggestions, please? I'm extremely worried about having to spend money to replace my boiler because I can hardly pay my household bills.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi mapleleaf1010
Sounds like you definitely require your boiler looking at, have you applied for reductions in council tax though your local council which may give you more cash towards a new boiler, hope you find an answer soon.

Many thanks for replying.

I'm trying to avoid getting a bank loan or using a credit card.
