You can get help to pay for adaptations to your home through the Disabled Facilities Grant which we can help you apply for.

The maximum amount available to you from the Disabled Facilities Grant is £30,000.

Your household income and savings will be assessed to ensure those in most need can get the help they require. After being assessed, you may need to make a contribution for the adaptations needed.

If you are applying on behalf on your disabled child under the age of 18, your income won't need to be taken into account.

Eligible work

Grants are awarded for essential adaptations needed to your home that will give you better freedom of movement and help you to retain your independence.

We will ensure that any adaptations are appropriate for you and can be completed at reasonable costs and within practical timescales. 

An occupational therapist will assess most of the complex medical related works needed including:
- widening doors or installing ramps
- installing a stair lift or door entry system
- providing an adapted bathroom or kitchen
- improving or installing a suitable heating system.
