Home Adaptations and Aids for Disabled People

Disabled Facilities Grants

If you have a disability and need to make changes to stay in your home, you may be eligible for a disabled facilities grant (DFG) to fund alterations to your property to make it easier to live there, and remain as independent as possible.

Adaptations may include:

• Improving access to rooms and facilities (e.g. stairlifts, through floor lifts, ceiling tracks)
• Installation of ramps
• Upgrading, or in certain cases providing, a heating system suitable for your needs
• Level access shower and bathroom upgrades

And much more...
