Energy Saving Grants

Hi
I just had an unsolicited phone call about getting an energy saving grant. I usually put the phone down but for some reason I carried on listening. After about 5 minutes the guy said to qualify someone in the house had to be getting a benefit such as (then he went on to list all the benefits my son gets). This freaked me out a bit so I denied that anyone living here got any benefits. Is there really such a scheme or was it a scam?

PS I have Googled and can't find any such scheme

Its a cold calling operation.
They would not know about what benefits your family is on.
You have to be on means tested benefit to get a grant, by example Pension Credits.
These grants are funded by the energy firms.
Hope this helps.
