You could get a grant from your council if you’re disabled and need to make changes to your home, for example to:
-
widen doors and install ramps
-
improve access to rooms and facilities - eg stairlifts or a downstairs bathroom
-
provide a heating system suitable for your needs
-
adapt heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use
A Disabled Facilities Grant won’t affect any benefits you get.
