The application in this case had to be rejected, as contrary to a qualifying condition of the house improvement grants scheme, a previous reconstruction grant was paid in April 1981. Arrangements are being made to furnish a copy of the relevant payable order to the applicant as requested by the Deputy. In any event the estimated cost of the particular eligible repairs works was below the qualifying threshold of £500 necessary in order to be considered for a grant under the scheme.
