Disability Facilities Grant

A Disabled Facilities Grant can help if you are disabled and need to make changes to your home.

This could be to:

  • instal ramps
  • widen doors
  • improve access to rooms e.g. by installing a stairlift
  • change your heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use

The total you could get is £30,000 but this depends on:

  • your household income
  • if you have savings over £6,000

An occupation therapy assessment and a financial assessment will be needed when you apply for a grant.

You can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant if you are disabled and:

  • own and live in your own property
