Help with equipment and home adaptations (Scotland)
Support to adapt your home in Scotland, arranged through your local authority rather than a Disabled Facilities Grant.
What you get
Disabled Facilities Grants are not available in Scotland. GOV.UK points you instead to support for equipment and adaptations through your local authority. That can include equipment, minor adaptations and, where assessed as needed, major adaptations. Charges, if any, depend on the type of work and your local authority’s scheme — check mygov.scot rather than assuming a grant maximum.
Who can get it
You can ask for an assessment if you need equipment or adaptations because of a disability or long-term condition and you live in Scotland.
How to apply
Contact your local council’s social work or occupational therapy service, or follow the official mygov.scot guidance on equipment and adaptations. Do not start major works on the assumption of funding until it is agreed.
