I have constituents who have single-glazed wooden windows and went through the whole process of applying for the grant. The homeowners are aged 61 and 65. However, because they insulated their home three years previous they are precluded from accessing the grant. They were told they were precluded at the end stage after two assessors had spent two hours at their home carrying out an assessment. Had the homeowners known that the insulation of the house was going to preclude them from getting the windows retrofitted then they would not have insulated their home. Therefore, I think we need to be much clearer.
