Disabled Facilities Grant (England)

A local-authority grant towards adapting your home, for example a stairlift, wet room or ramps.

What you get

A grant towards the cost of adaptations that help you continue to live in your home. Official GOV.UK maximum in England: up to £30,000. Some councils may give more. How much you get usually depends on household income and household savings over £6,000. Disabled children under 18 can get a grant without their parents’ income being taken into account. You might not get any grant if you start work before the council approves the application. As of 10 November 2026, from GOV.UK.

Who can get it

You, or someone living in the property, must be disabled and the adaptations must be necessary and appropriate, and reasonable and practicable. Owner-occupiers and tenants can apply. Landlords can also apply, with conditions if the tenant moves within 5 years.
