About the grant
A Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) can be issued towards home adaptations, such as;
- Level access shower
- Wash / dry toilet
- Ramps
- Door widening
The grant is means-tested - your income and savings would be taken into account to decide whether or not a grant can be paid and what level of contribution (if any) you would need to pay.
The grant is subject to the following conditions;
- The disabled person intends to stay living in the property for the next 5 years
- Property owners will have a local land charge placed on their property (for mandatory grants over £7.500), and may have to pay some of this back if they sell within 10 years
- DFG funding limit is £30k (A discretionary Top Up Grant may be available)
- There will be further local land charges associated with the Contribution Support Grant and/or Top Up Grant.
