Can I Get a Free Boiler on PIP in Manchester 2025?
If you're receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in Manchester, you're likely eligible for a completely free boiler upgrade under the Government's ECO4 or LA Flex scheme in 2025. These government-backed programs are designed to help low-income and vulnerable households access essential home heating upgrades without paying anything upfront.
🔥 Why PIP Claimants in Manchester Qualify
The ECO4 scheme is tailored for vulnerable groups — and PIP recipients are among the highest priority. With energy prices on the rise, replacing an outdated boiler could save you £320 to £540 per year. Manchester's inclusion in the LA Flex program means even broader local eligibility.
