There is no 100% quick way of delivering the benefit to the target audience - however that is defined. The other reality - whatever means used to select the target group for support, there will be anomalies.
Linking support to property makes fundamental sense. Houses use energy and it is lower income groups likely to find energy cost increases difficult. Hence council tax groups A-D as the focus.
There is a simple choice - do it quick and accept there will be gaps and anomalies, or nail down all the details - wait a year or two when all the issues have been resolved.
In the circumstances 80-90% right and quick is better than 95%+ and slow. Others may take a different view.
