According to Homecare it is.
That's British Gas.
It is according to Homecare. Homecare is designed with that in mind. The fact that it didn't work in my neighbour's case - until they got the local busybody (me) on the job doesn't count, it's supposed to work like that and it might well do in other parts of the country.

Eh?! Am I missing something here? The Homeserve I'm talking about are the ones who arrange cover through third parties; in this case Ideal/Caradon. Is there another one, and is it free to pensioners?
My neighbour had a complete central heating system installed, free. She is on some benefit which made her eligible. It's funded by 'The Government', i.e. us.

Can you just clarify for us, please, how Homeserve (who are a company which offers very limited insurance against domestic heating and plumbing breakdowns) came to be obliged to supply your neighbour with a free central heating system ?

Same here. but we have everything we need and don't want more than we need so we don't mind. We don't want to be grateful to this government for anything.
