Apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant
If you are an adult or are applying on behalf of an adult, you need to contact Lancashire County Council Adult Social Care and ask for an Occupational Therapist home assessment. Once a visit has taken place, an Occupational Therapist will send a referral to us containing recommendations for adaptations which are based on an assessment of your medical or physical needs.
If you are applying on behalf of a disabled child (aged 19 or below) you need to contact Lancashire County Council Inclusion Service and ask for an Occupational Therapist home assessment.
Once we receive the referral, we register the case and notify the applicant that we have received it. We will then check eligibility for a disabled facilities grant. If you are eligible for a grant you will receive a visit from us to assess the feasibility of the recommended work.
