Disabled Persons Grant Local authorities may pay a grant for the provision of additional accommodation or necessary works of adaptation to your house to meet the needs of a disabled member of the household. Do I Qualify? You may qualify if the proposed works are necessary to render the house more suitable for the needs of the disabled person as his/her normal place of residence and the cost of the works is more than £200 (€254). There is no income limit for eligibility. How much is the grant worth? For Private houses: up to 90% of the works approved by the local authority. For houses let by the local authority: the full cost of the works approved by the local authority. Normally the grant will not exceed £16,000 (€20,320) where the house being adapted is more than one year old. Where a house is less than one year old or where a new house is being specifically provided and is suitably designed to meet the needs of a disabled person the grant will not normally exceed £10,000 (€12,700). How do I meet the other 10% of the cost of the works? You may fund your share of the cost from your own resources or by means of a loan from a bank, building society, etc. If you are unable to obtain a loan from a bank or building society, your local authority may be able to advance you a house improvement loan to cover your share of the cost. Further information The Disabled Persons Grant is available from County Councils, County Borough Corporations and Sligo Borough Council. If you feel that the scheme is an option that may be suited to your circumstances, contact Sligo Borough Council on 071 9114400
