Contribution-based ESA and grants

Hi all
I currently receive contribution based ESA as I'm too unwell to work but have a mortgage to pay :eek:
I understand that government grants for new insulation and boilers are limited to income-based ESA, so I'm not eligible. Shame as it'd help reduce my energy bills.
Does anyone know of any other help that is out there for contribution based ESA?
Thanks

    Most grants are means tested based on household income. If your income is too high for income based ESA it is unlikely you would qualify.

    Do you have an underlying entitlement to income based?
