Can anyone please advise me if these grants no longer cover the replacement of broken down heating systems?

    Hello @Broken

    The Citizens Advice webpage on Disabled Facilities Grants advises:
    A disabled facilities grant is a grant that you can get from your local authority for work that is essential to help a disabled person live an independent life. You can, for example, get a disabled facilities grant for the following things...
    • providing or improving a heating system
    A local authority must give you a disabled facilities grant if you meet the conditions for getting one.
    So, I'd recommend contacting the Housing Department at your local authority to clarify whether you will be entitled to a replacement.  To find your local authority's contact details, enter your postcode on this government webpage and click through for contact details/further information.  Good luck.
