The Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) provides financial assistance if you're disabled for things like stair lifts, replacing baths with showers, additional heating and works to improve accessibility.
If you apply for a DFG, a financial test will be carried out to see if you need to make any contribution to the cost of the work.
If you’re eligible, in the majority of cases, the grants are mandatory. Most will have no repayment conditions, although the cost of more expensive work may have to be repaid if the property is sold within ten years.
Our policy document contains information on eligibility for mandatory grant assistance, conditions relating to applications, approval and payment of grant and other relevant conditions and requirements.
The policy also sets out the limited circumstances under which we will provide discretionary assistance.
