Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) are used to provide home adaptations for disabled people, generally for the purpose of improving access - access into and around the home and access to, or provision of, basic amenities such as bathing and WC.

Normally the current maximum expenditure limit for these grants is £30,000, although the amount will be affected by the financial circumstances of the disabled person and any exceptional circumstances which may apply.

The grants are implemented in partnership with Lancashire County Council Adult  Social Care Services, who recommend the necessary works based on their assessment of medical or physical need. They will also decide which enquiries are the most urgent, which may affect the speed of grant processing. At the present time, however, there are waiting lists for both an assessment by Lancashire County Council and also the application and survey process carried out by Preston City Council.
