The Telegraph has a good article today about a potential pitfall for pensioners or families with a child under 16 who may be interested in the boiler scrappage scheme. At present through the Warm Front scheme pensioners may be eligible for a huge subsidy of up to £3,500 towards a new boiler – significantly more than the £400 incentive that the UK boiler cashback scheme offers. However if eligible people apply for and receive the scrappage allowance then they will no longer be able to get the warm front money!
For anyone who is getting older it is vitally important that you find a way to keep your house warm as cheaply as possible. Given the current spate of arctic weather we have had here in the UK this is even more important. So if you are over 60 then please first apply for a warm front grant before you try for the boiler scrappage grant. Stay warm this winter!
