You search about energy grants etc and there is just an absolute bombardment of companies saying "check if you qualify" etc. It's overwelming.

What is it exactly? I think I qualify as I get paid Child Benefits. Some sites mention this as a qualifier, others don't. 

The rendering on our house is going to be done likely in autumn and I searched about solid wall insulation as a natural "while they're doing it they might as well" situation. That's what led me to these grants etc. 

Do I qualify for this? Also, how would I even go about obtaining this? Would I also have other improvements to the house?

Thanks in advance.

    Just receiving Child Benefit isn't enough, there is also an income requirement, here is one of the many explanations out there:
