Disabled Facilities Grant

You could get a grant from your council if you’re disabled and need to make changes to your home.

An assessment would be completed to establish your eligibility for accessing the Disabled Facilities Grant. Possible changes depending on your level of need might include:

• widen doors and install ramps
• improve access to rooms and facilities, for example, adding a stair lift or a downstairs bathroom
• adapt heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use

A Disabled Facilities Grant is means tested but will not affect any benefits that you’re getting.
