I'm afraid it seems to be very much on the back burner at the moment, certainly no prospects of it being revived in the next 12 months, same with the early retirement scheme

They briefly re-opened the early retirement scheme last year to allow people who were midway through the process to finish it, but I'd take that as a real nail in the coffin for it. I'd assume the installation aid scheme is as doomed, which I think is a pity, given the one-off nature of the payments.
