Basing it on council tax band wouldn't be a bad idea with only the lowest bands qualifying. It needs to be targeted instead of throwing it at those that will just buy a new patio heater.

Millionaires as in assets, or disposable income?

If you are retired, with a house worth £500k, and a pension pot of £500k (which gives an annuity of £23k per year), that makes the household worth a million, but pretty sure they are not living a "millionaire's" lifestyle...

Btw, I do agree with you that it needs to be more targeted.
