government help with digi switchover

[hope19]

I have heard one can get some help with the cost of digital switchover,that an engineer would
come to your house and do whatever is necessary for a small fee if you are on benefits.
Has anyone had this help or knows the phone number to ring..I have googled but can`t find it.

Help appreciated.

I understand they're charging £40 fee plus the cost of the box, but do check it out as I;m not 100% sure if thats the price for those on benefits.

If it is you'd be better of getting a digi box in Argos and plugging it in yourself.
