Some hope for anyone waiting, I got my email voucher today - £10,000.00 towards external wall insulation. The company said they had about 150 quotes out and had approval for just three so far. I applied on the first morning and had heard nothing up until this point so don't give up.

Congratualtions.
When was your quote valid to? 

Until 4th March, but able to apply for extension

@Purpleboots Absolutely no idea, the company I was with supplied a new quote within half an hour of that email. If I go to the back of the queue it'll have expired again by the time it's my turn!

Hi - I need to start the process on this very soon on behalf of my parents. They are looking to get roof insulation done followed by replacing couple of single glazed windows with double.
As they are on benefits, I am guessing even if the secondary job is more than the primary there is no cost for them?

The amount you get towards the cost of secondary measures cannot exceed the amount you get for primary measures.

I've just had notification that they want to come and inspect for my ASHP fitting - I applied on the first day.

Which in this instance is insane, as they get it all funded they will now have another measure added to bump up the primary measure value.  Or at least I would!  If they have a flat roof extension get that insulated, as if nothing else you get a new waterproof membrane.

I also received notification yesterday that my application for External Wall Insulation has been approved!
