# The Home Energy Efficiency Grants Regulations 1990, Regulation 9: Procedure after application to the network installer


(1) Where an application has been made to the network installer for the locality, he shall consider whether there appears to be eligibility for grant.
(2) If the network installer is not satisfied that there is eligibility for grant, he shall so notify the applicant in writing, return the application to the applicant and inform him that he may send the application to the administering agency for the area for determination.
(3) If the network installer is satisfied that there is eligibility for grant, he shall–
(a) send the application to the administering agency for the area for determination, and at the same time certify to the administering agency in writing that he has carried out such verification as to the eligibility for grant as may be laid down from time to time by the administering agency; and
(b) decide whether, pending determination of the application by the administering agency, he is prepared to carry out the work on the basis that, subject to the liability of the applicant as described in (i) below, he will, in the event that the administering agency should not approve the grant, bear the cost of the work; and
(i) if he is so prepared, notify the applicant in writing that he is prepared to carry out the work on the basis that, unless the application for grant is not approved or the claim not paid by the administering agency on grounds of a material misrepresentation, the applicant shall be liable to pay in respect of the work only the contribution as specified in column 2 of the Table in regulation 11 together with such amount as has been agreed in writing between the applicant and the network installer before the making of the application as representing the amount by which the full cost of the works exceeds the sum of the grant and the contribution; or
(ii) if he is not so prepared, notify the applicant in writing that he is awaiting determination of the application by the administering agency.
(4) For the purpose of this regulation “material misrepresentation” means any representation by or on behalf of the applicant in respect of any of the matters relating to eligibility for grant which is false in a material particular.
