Up to 100% grants for loft & cavity wall insulation

Think you'll find that offer is free to over 70s and if in receipt of some types of benefits.
Like a lot of other things - if you work - you pay!

I've just chased up my original call from 6 May, when I was told that someone would come out within 6 weeks to have a look at our house to see if it was suitable for loft/cavity wall insulation. I was passed on to the subcontractor, a company called Miller Pattison, who appear to be one on the main insulation companies in the country, who are going to get back to me with a date for the survey.....

Anybody else have any luck with this?!

We did have someone come and check our house, being of wooden build, cavity wall was a no go and on checking the loft area's, there was adequate insulation despite me mentioning parts of non access humanly, but could be pumped in .

When I heard on the news yesterday that ALL pensioners were now eligible for 100% grants, I thought this was an extension to the scheme, and one that would allow lots more pensioners under 70 to benefit. Turns out Gordon Brown made a mistake in his announcement and it's still only those over 70 that are eligible for 100% http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7612852.stm - seems like incredible sloppy briefing to the Prime Minister to allow him to make a gaffe like that - signs of a last minute, rushed, not really getting a grip of the issue type of governance - If only he'd read Pat McPhee's post on here on the 7th August .....
