The government's Green Homes Grant launches today - offering homeowners up to 拢5000 towards the cost of works to make their houses warmer. We look at how the scheme works, and how much insulation, or a new efficient heating system might cost you.
This programme has learnt that cold calling will not be banned under the Green Homes Grant. You & Yours has already heard reports of increased cold calling and fraud since the scheme was announced, from people claiming to be associated with it. We speak to Trading Standards about protecting yourself from scammers.

We talk to someone who has lost all of their income and is struggling to pay their mortgage, alongside one of the original architects of Universal Credit, Baroness Philippa Stroud.
