Disabled Facilities Grants

What does it do?

We provide Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) to help pay for changes so people can stay living in their own home.

DFGs are mandatory for certain essential adaptations.

Typical adaptations are:
stair lifts
wet floor shower areas
access ramping

You may have to make a contribution.

Adaptations for children are not means tested. The maximum grant available is £30,000.

We will be able to help with the planning and design of the work along with Cumbria Social Services occupational therapists.
