The local authority flexible eligibility (LA Flex) scheme is an extension of the ECO scheme eligibility to broaden the scope of those who can apply for the funding available. Councils are given the power to extend the eligibility based on certain factors in order to include those who are not in receipt of benefits. Both homeowners and those who privately rent may be eligible, although social housing tenants are unfortunately not.
