Benefits

Heat rises, and in an uninsulated home, a quarter of your heat is lost through the roof! If you want to use your loft as a living space, or it is already being used as a living space, you can insulate your room-in-the-roof by insulating the roof itself rather than the loft floor. This is typically done by fixing rigid insulation boards between the roof rafters. Boards must be cut to the correct width so that they fit snugly between the rafters. They can then be covered by plasterboard. Rafters aren’t usually very deep, so to get the best performance you may have to insulate over them as well, using insulated plasterboard. If there isn’t room to do this, make sure you use the highest performance insulation board.

More Detail

That is the full criteria as this scheme is targeted towards people in a community rather than people on benefits. So in this case personal attributes or circumstances do not matter.
