Disabled Facilities Grants for Children Information Sheet
Alternative scheme & enhancements
If you wish you can add to the scheme, enhance the scheme or opt for a more extensive scheme than the one available under a DFG. A DFG can provide only certain adaptations and must always be the most cost effective way of meeting the disabled child's needs. The council will only pay for the value of the grant so you will need to fund any extra costs over and above this amount for the 'additional works'. More information is available in the leaflet "Works in excess of a scheme funded by a DFG", which is available on request.
