Disabled Facilities Grant – What You Need to Know
Disabled facilities grants (DFGs) are grants provided by your local authority to help meet the cost of adapting a property for the needs of a Disabled person. The scheme operates in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
These changes can
include things like installing a stairlift, adding a level access shower,
fitting ramps, or widening doorways.
To find out more or to apply, please contact your local council.

Disabled Facilities Exemption
If you don't have grant approval but these changes are necessary to help you live safely within your home we'll need a letter or report from a medical professional—this could be your GP, a specialist consultant, or someone from occupational health.
