Eligibility Criteria For Heat Pump (etc) Grant
Comments

The EPC is not really a factor for the BUS grant and it doesn't sound like you would qualify for any of the schemes aimed at those on benefits.
If you can show that your property only has electric panel heaters for example you should still qualify for the BUS grant at least.
Still worth looking at the EPC comments to see if anything there makes sense to do at the same time.
You don't need to have a perfectly insulated home to use a heat-pump, but it does help if you've done what is reasonable to help with the insulation.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme would give you a £7,500 grant towards an Air Source Heat Pump system, if you replace an existing fossil fuel heating system, including an electric one. Paradoxically, I'm not sure if a house with no heating system would qualify. But I don't see that it has to be a central heating system. And a house that only has fireplaces could possibly qualify; you would certainly be replacing a fossil fuel.
