Government funded gas boiler replacement scheme

Was there any updates on eligibility for the cost of having a gas boiler replacement subsidised in the latest raft of measures introduced by the government regards the current energy crisis?

Over and above pre-existing rules which I've seen as having to be on low income or unemployed etc?

I think that the Government would prefer it if you replaced your boiler with a heat pump. Grants of £5K are available.

Thanks. The article says that a heat pump will cost between 10 and 12k meaning there will be a shortfall of 5k to pick up.

Are there any other schemes regards subsidised new boiler installations that you are aware of?
