Last year while on benefits before I retired I had a boiler fitted under the government scheme. This weekend I had trouble with the water pump. when I contacted British Gas under the maintainence scheme I have. I was told by the engineer that when they fitted the boiler the system should have been flushed and it looks as though it was drained only. \I am now facing a bill to flush it of £600 being disabled I cannot afford it. Can anyone help with the contact for the government dept contact.

Moderated post - As from 1st April 2017 it is possible to claim a free gas, LPG or oil boiler via the new "Help To Heat" scheme run by the UK Government.

To qualify you need to receive either the Guarantee component of Pension Credit, Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credits.

Your boiler also needs to be old or inefficient.

This scheme has now finished.
