Can You Access Grants to Fund you Adaptations?

You could get a grant from your council if you’re disabled and need to make changes to your home, for example to:

 

  • widen doors and install ramps
  • improve access to rooms and facilities - eg stairlifts or a downstairs bathroom
  • provide a heating system suitable for your needs
  • adapt heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use

A Disabled Facilities Grant will not affect any benefits that you’re getting.

In England, grants of up to £30,000 are available!
