If you are a tenant of Tandridge District Council and an Occupational Therapist recommends adaptations to enable you to continue to live in your home, you maybe eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant to fund the cost of works.
These grants are means tested and could, in appropriate circumstances, be supplemented by additional funding from Social Services. Works typically include stair-lift provision, bathroom adaptation, ramps, and grab rails in the home. In order to qualify, clients must be assessed as being in a "high need" category by an Occupational Therapist.
This is a means tested grant. Before we can proceed, you may need to provide details of your financial situation by completing a Preliminary Test of Resources Form. This will enable us to assess your eligibility for a grant. This can be completed and returned to these offices to assist your application.
Our Care and repair agency helps to guide people through the application process as well as 'project managing' grant funded works.
