Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay the grant back: is it repayable?
No, you do not have to pay back the grants. It is not a repayable loan.
There are lots of people who are worse off than me — should I still apply?
Yes, we take into account not only your income, but also your whole circumstances, including monthly outgoings, including housing and care costs. The Trust approves most of the eligible, completed applications received, so if we approve your application it doesn’t mean that this will disadvantage another person who applies.
Do I need to be on benefits?
No, you do not need to be in receipt of benefits. You just need to be on a low income, whether from pensions, wages or benefits.
I am on Universal Credit, can I still apply?
Yes, however you must be 60 or over.
