    I am currently building a house. My parents in law will be moving in with us. We will be having a single meter in the house.

    How do I ensure that they can still get the free esb allowance? Do I need to put the bill in join names? for example my name and my father in laws name or what should I do?

    It depends on the age bracket they are in. If they are over 70 it's just a question of having one of their names on the power bill.
    If they're not 70 yet it's more comlicated
