After watching Meridan TV push the scheme that if you are over 65 you are eligible for a grant to improve your heating, we asked for two storage heaters in place of those that were ancient and unreliable.
We were told by an unseen man in a back office that, since we are not on income support (we have a works pension) that puts us over the top.
The only way we can get a grant is if our gas fire packs up and is beyond repair.
This heating scheme - on TV, billboards, everywhere you go - is just a scam.
