The New Nest Health Eligibility Criteria is now active, following a 2-year pilot scheme.

Several changes have been now made such as increased income thresholds, additional eligible health conditions and new self-referral routes. A resident could be now eligible for free home energy efficiency improvements. Including boilers, heating systems and insulation if:

·  They own or privately rent their home (not from a local authority or housing association)

·  Their home is energy inefficient and expensive to heat

·  They or someone they live with receives a means tested benefit OR has a chronic respiratory, circulatory or mental health condition and an income below the defined thresholds
