Are you, or a parent, aged 70 or over?
116,000 households are missing out on about €580 a year
The Department of Social Protection says as many as 116,000 households with someone aged 70 or over may be entitled to the Household Benefits Package and not getting it. Everyone aged 70 or over qualifies, with no means test and no pension needed. It is €35 a month towards electricity or gas plus a free TV licence. Nobody rings you to offer it. You have to apply.

Why GrantHub is free
Most people in Ireland never claim the grants they’re entitled to. The schemes are scattered across dozens of government websites, the rules change with every Budget, and the forms put people off. GrantHub pulls them into one place and tells you, in plain English, what you can get and how to apply. Built by someone with a decade in the mobility and home-adaptation trade in Ireland, who watched too many people miss out on what the State owed them.

The big one
Housing Adaptation Grant, up to €40,000
If you or someone in your home has a disability or is getting older, the Housing Adaptation Grant pays for stairlifts, level-access bathrooms, ramps, downstairs bedrooms and more, up to €40,000 depending on your income. It is the largest grant most households will ever claim, and the one people most often miss.

Is GrantHub really free?
Yes. The grant finder, the guides and every grant page are completely free to use, with no sign-up. We make nothing from the grants themselves, we just make them easier to find and claim.
How does the grant finder work?
You answer a few quick questions about your home, age and circumstances. The finder checks your answers against 38 Irish grants and supports and shows you which ones you likely qualify for, how much each is worth, and how to apply.
Which grants does it cover?
Grants for buying or building a home, home energy and repairs, disability, older people and carers, education, electric vehicles, and family and childcare. From the Housing Adaptation Grant to SEAI energy grants, SUSI, the EV grant and more.
Do you apply for the grants for me?
The free tools give you everything you need to apply yourself, in plain English, with the official links for each grant. GrantHub is independent, not a government service. If you would rather hand the paperwork over, we also offer an optional grant kit for €29.99. See what is in the grant kit.
Is my information stored?
No. The finder runs in your browser and keeps nothing, unless you choose to give us your email to have your report sent to you and be told if any grant rules change.
Find out what you’re entitled to, free
It takes about a minute. No sign-up, no catch.
