What is a Disabled Facilities Grant?

A Disabled Facilities Grant is a means-tested government grant administered by your local council. It funds essential adaptations to help disabled or elderly people live safely and independently at home. You do not need to be a homeowner — tenants can also apply.

Eligible adaptations include stairlifts, level-access showers, grab rails, wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, and specialist kitchen or bathroom equipment. The grant is mandatory — if you meet the criteria, your council must award it.

How to apply: Contact your local council housing or adult social care team, or ask an occupational therapist to refer you. Find your council below for specific guidance.
