About the grant

A Disabled Facilities Grant is a local council grant to help towards the cost of adapting your home to enable you to continue to live there.

A grant is paid when the council considers that changes are necessary to meet your needs, and that the work is reasonable and practical.

Who can claim for a grant?

You can claim if you, or someone living in your property, is disabled and:

• The owner or tenant of the property (including licensees and landlords)

• Can certify that the person who the application is for intends to occupy the property as the main residence throughout the grant period – currently five years

Applying for the grant

Visit the Directgov website for more information about the Disabled Facilities Grant and how to apply.

You must apply for a grant before you start any work - you won't normally get any grant if you start work before the council approves the application.
