Gas grants for OAP's
Hi folks,
Wonder if anyone can help me because I'm blowed if I can find any info.
My in-laws have coal fired central heating at the moment. They also have another relative living with them...all are in their 70's...f-i-law will be 80 this year. No-one receives any benefits in the household.
They are in the early stages of changing to gas instead and I'm trying to find out if there are any grants available to them. WARMFRONT say no, local council says no, but the various people who've been to give quotes for installing are all saying there are grants available???? (or are they under the illusion that all OAP's must be receiving benefits).
Anyone got any advice for me? Have to leave computer but will check later. Thanks

Hi
I live in Sussex and am about to receive a £400 grant towards my GCH install from Npower, apparently its a government scheme to get me off elec heating and on to gas!! Im pretty sure the grant was £700 for over 70's.
Also, the company installing the gas main offer grants to the elderly however im not eligible for these being a younster! Good luck!0 -
