Much of the older generation do not want to be on benefits and do not want to be means tested. We have worked and paid all of our lives. We are proud and that is my personal decision.Why would you not want to claim a benefit that saves you money, saves the planet and is generally good all round for your health? And also if you don't want to claim what are you asking for? No such thing as free insulation, someone always pays. The previous scheme, the government paid so even if it's means tested now it's still from the same place. Just claim the means tested one and enjoy the warm feeling of saving the planet
if you get a state pension you are already on benefit as the state pension is a benefitAre any free ones non benefits please?

Fair enough! I just think if the current government are offering money to do something it must be a good idea. It's not like they're generous at the moment!Much of the older generation do not want to be on benefits and do not want to be means tested. We have worked and paid all of our lives.

I saw a company called Keep Warm mentioned. The scheme (not means tested) apparently closes in Feb, or perhaps earlier once the budget is used up. I haven't got a link but I hear their website states the criteria. https://keepwarm.co.uk/ I have no knowledge of the company.
