Thanks Jo, I've been waiting for this news!

More info on the DirectGov site: direct.gov.uk/en/Environmen... (there are links to the Scottish, Welsh and N Ireland schemes at the bottom of this page)

Sadly, despite the changes, I still do not qualify. It's still based on Income related benefits

Sadly I dont qualify either but I know I must get central heating.Last winter was wicked so I have saved up money I now just have to find a reliable company.I have heard that the Council have a list of approved companies that they suggest to older people - any other ideas would be welcome

age UK have a list of approved professionals who can give quotes for people who are over 55. I beleive the council work in conjunction with trading standards when offering approved companies.

Sigh......I don't qualify even though I'm on JSA, have lower rate DLA and income much less than 15,000 a year.

I own my flat and have the old wooden sash cord windows which are very draughty. I don't have central heating either. As I can't afford any more heating costs I will just have keep turning the fire down and wear more clothes. As least If I do get ill because of the cold I get free treatment and medication! What a life hey?
