Disabled Facilities Grants & other help to get home adaptations and equipment

Published on 13 February 2025 10:56 AM

You may be entitled to free disability equipment or small adaptations from your local council. For larger adaptations, you may be entitled to a Disabled Facilities Grant, which would help you pay for these adaptations.

Disabled Facilities Grants are a means tested grant available to help pay for any recommended works. 

Adaptations can include:

  • Ramps
  • Level Access Showers
  • Stairlifts & Through Floor Lifts
  • Door widening
  • Extension

The Disabled Facilities Grant is assessed on what is reasonable, practicable, necessary, and appropriate based on your medical need and your property. The grant can cover up to £30,000 of assessed adaptations.

Apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant

The Council will assign a case worker to support and guide you through the process, from assessing your needs to completing the work on your home.
