Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for a grant ?
Anyone with a disability who lives or is moving into the district can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant. The parents or guardian of a disabled person can also apply on their behalf.
How do I apply?
First of all you need to be referred to the community occupational therapist by either your doctor or social services. The occupational therapist will, after talking with you, decide which adaptations if any to recommend for grant assistance.
How much grant is available ?
The amount of grant you get is decided on an individual basis. You will receive the difference between the total cost of the adaptations the grant covers, and the contribution (if anything) that you will be making. The maximum grant available is £30,000.
