Housing Adaptation Grant for Disabled People
The Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability is available to assist in the carrying out of works which are reasonably necessary for the purposes of rendering a house more suitable for the accommodation of a person with a disability who has an enduring physical, sensory, mental health or intellectual impairment. The types of works allowable under the scheme include the provision of access ramps, downstairs toilet facilities, stair-lifts, fixed track hoist (excluding any servicing, maintenance and training costs), accessible showers, adaptations to facilitate wheelchair access, extensions, and any other works which are reasonably necessary for the purposes of rendering a house more suitable for the accommodation of a person with a disability.
An Occupational Therapist (OT) Report must be submitted with your application for any of the following works:
- A big change to the use of a room in your home.
- A stair-lift or through floor lift
- A fixed track hoist
- An extension.
The Council may request an OT Report for other works if deemed necessary after initial inspection.
