Disabled Child Heat

Son on ventilator needs 68°F minimum, heater broke. Regular HEAP exhausted. Any medical priority for emergency heating in NY?

Emergency HEAP has a medical emergency tier—ventilator or oxygen counts as life-sustaining. My neighbor’s autistic son qualified; state paid $1,200 for new furnace in five days. Submit doctor letter stating temperature requirement, Con Ed bill, and equipment prescription. Check “medical” box for 24-hour review.

This is a really stressful situation, especially with a child who depends on stable temperatures for medical equipment. Emergency HEAP’s medical priority route is usually the fastest path when a ventilator is involved. A doctor’s letter clearly stating the temperature requirement often unlocks urgent review and funding.
