VAT and financial assistance

[MiamiD]

Having brought a property with no central heating or electricy is it possible to receive assistance from local coucil or with the VAT element of the costs

[Ethel]

It depends on where you live and your circumstances.

You normally have to be in receipt of benefits to qualify, but phone your local uncil to check. If you don't ask - you don't get!

This might provide some useful information in the meantime:
