i have just looked into the government boiler grants and apparently im not entitled to it although i am pregnant but it seems i will be entitled once i have had a baby which just seems daft.

i am 29,single, self employed and own my own home. the site says you are entitled to the grant if you are pregant and recieve either:

income support
council tax benefit
jsa
pension credit
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance


i dont think that i get any of these, the one thing i do get is working tax credit but it says you are also entitled to it if you get working family tax credit which a think i will be entitled to once the baby arrives. my house is freezing in the winter when the baby is due and i want a boiler before that, is there anything i can do to be entitled???
