Free Insulation & cavity wall thingy!!; For families with DLA!

Did you know that you can get free cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and hot water tank lagging if you are in receipt of DLA? I am with Scottish Power and the surveyor has just come out to assess our home and we are having all three done on Sept 3rd! I am pretty sure this is a government initiative, so all you ladies who get DLA for your child, could save yourselves a fortune on utility bills! clap-ping

Other criteria if you are not in receipt of DLA are:

Attendance allowance
DLA
Income based job seekers allowance
Child & Working Tax credit (Household income below £15,592)
War disablement pension
Council tax benefits (not including discount for single occupancy)
Housing Benefit
Income support
Pension credit.
Anyone over 70 yrs old.

If you dont qualify for free insulation, Scottish Power are offering heavily discounted prices for the insulation, and it could be worth it in view of the proposed gas and elec increases being as much as 40%.

I was surprised at how quickly they came out to assess- I only rang up last week....normally we just miss out on anything free, but not this time wohoo :D
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
