Threshold for means testing disability grant to fall
Daily Post
|April 12, 2025
FLINTSHIRE councillors have supported plans to lower how much grant funding disabled residents can apply for without means-testing by £5,000.
-
Currently disabled residents in Flintshire who live in privately owned, privately rented or social housing accommodation can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) to make essential adaptations to their home.
Providing the funding is mandatory for the local authority under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. It ensures people with disabilities can live independently for longer, preventing the need for the council to offer more costly residential care.
