Insulation

Lynne_Holden

We received a leaflet from British Gas telling us that we could get free cavity wall and loft insulation if we were on any of the following benefits:

Attendance Allowance, Council Tax Benefit, Child Tax Credit (income no more than £14,600), Disability Living Allowance, Disablement Pension, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Income-based Job Seeker's Allowance, State Pension Credit, War Disablement Pension, Working Tax Credit (income no moer than £14,600).

We rang the number on the leaflet and explained that we weren't on benefit but that our daughter (who lives with us) received Disability Living Allowance, and lo and behold, we were eligible.

We are having loft insulation fitted at no cost.

The British Gas number to call is 0845 605 2535

It would seem that it applies if anyone in the household is on benefits, not just the householders

This is correct. Even if your not recieving any benefits ANY fuel supplier will give you a massive discount - up to £150 off! Call you local Energy Saving Trust's Energy Efficiency Advice Centre for details in your area...number here.

If you area recieving benefits you can also get the warm front grant - see the MSE forum here.
