Disabled Facilities Grant

If you - or someone living with you - is disabled, a Disabled Facilities Grant can help make adaptations to your home to help make life a little easier.

The grant is limited to a maximum of £30,000 and is subject to several conditions:

  • the person must be registered disabled, or be eligible to be registered as disabled
  • the house must be the disabled person’s only or main residence, and the grant must be used to make adaptations to the home that the disabled person lives in
  • the disabled person’s income will be assessed to establish what contribution they may have to make towards the cost of the work: applicants claiming certain benefits and parents of a disabled child do not have to pay a contribution 
  • adaptation works must not have been carried out before application for the the grant is made

It does not matter whether you own or rent your home, as owner occupiers, tenants or landlords can apply.  Occupants of permanent residential caravans/mobile homes are also eligible to apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant. 


A Disabled Facilities Grant will not affect any benefits you are currently receiving.
