New fast-track home improvement option for Mendip's disabled residents who want to live at home

What does it do?

Mendip District Council has always supported disabled people with the costs of home adaptations, to help them live independently and safely.

Disabled Facilities Grants are means-tested grants of up to £30,000, and are available following a referral from an Occupational Therapist. Examples of the life-changing facilities and fixtures available include; stairlifts, level access shower rooms, heating improvements, better access, and room conversions and extensions.
