My understanding is that those group schemes are provided for under the existing measure. Where a tenant has a difficulty in a group scheme or in a multi-unit development, there was a mechanism for them to go to the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, to ensure that their landlord was allocating. Our evidence from the first application of this energy credit was that it got to 99.6% of households. It is only where people have their own MPRN, but we have provided flexible mechanisms where people have requested the RTB to get a payment if for whatever reason it has not been passed on.
