Yes, (if they are not registered for the RO) they can get the RHI for their heat output and FITs for their electricity.

Chapter 6 of the government’s RHI announcement says under

Interaction with the Renewables Obligation and Feed-In Tariffs

The Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) provide support for renewable electricity installations up to 5 MW. They do not provide support for renewable heat, and the RHI will not contain any limitations on receiving RHI for renewable heat where (CHP) installations are receiving FITs for renewable electricity. This may be the case with biogas combustion CHP installations. However, any heat used for electricity generation will not be eligible for RHI support.
