These Regulations amend the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (S.S.I. 2006/570) (“the 2006 Regulations”) which provide for the making of grants for insulation and energy efficiency works and to install, repair or replace central heating systems. The 2006 Regulations also allow for the upgrading of partial or inefficient systems to persons entitled to claim the guarantee element of pension credit, and extend eligibility for insulation and energy efficiency measures to families with disabled children.

Regulation 3 amends the financial limit in regulation 7(2)(c) of the 2006 Regulations in relation to the income threshold for eligibility for grant for persons in receipt of child tax credit and working tax credit in line with increases to these credits effective from 6th April 2007.
