Hi all,
Not sure if this is in the right place - so if not apologies.
My father is 64 and on Pension Credit. He / We have made an application 8/9 weeks ago for a Free Boiler as he is on Pension Credit. Someone came round immediately and did an assessment and said yes he is eligible for one. He also said he can have loft insulation as well.
Nothing happened for a few weeks and then someone contacted us re the loft insulation - they came round and did it. My father explained re the boiler and he was given a different number for someone else. Since then we have had a few phone calls asking to come around an do an inspection - i've informed them that it has been done. They said they are a different company and would do the process for him. They came round again last week and we are now waiting again.
A few questions:
How does this all work and i seem to be getting calls daily from people saying they will provide the service.
How long should it take?
Has anyone got any success stories of getting a free boiler?
Has anyone got a number of anyone to speak to that would advise without all the salesmany type talk.
Also my father will only be on Pension Credit for a limited time as he is due to take state / private pensions - will this effect him.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
