Local councils are legally required to award Disabled Facilities Grants to eligible applicants to help make homes more suitable for disabled people.

However, the grants are means tested and depend on the financial position of the person you care for. But even if your loved one is not eligible for a grant, it is worthwhile to have the assessment so that the occupational therapist can advise on what adaptations may be appropriate to facilitate everyday living.

Disabled Facilities Grants are awarded to owners and tenants in both private and social dwellings up a maximum limit of £25,000. Grants can be used for a variety of adaptations that will make life easier for a disabled person to get into and around their home. It may be used for a suitably adapted kitchen or bathroom, for heating systems or for a means of access to the house.
