Disabled Facilities Grants for Children Information Sheet
Eligible works
Private Sector Housing will need to determine that the proposed works are both reasonable and practicable, depending on the age and condition of the property and they will need to look at the most cost effective way of meeting the needs of the disabled child. They may recommend an alternative to the proposed scheme such as using existing rooms (for example using a dining room as a bedroom). This should be done in consultation with your child's OT, who will be advising on functional needs, to ensure that any alternatives being considered are appropriate for your child's assessed needs, taking into account present and future predicted needs in relation to their disability/condition.
