Disabled facilities grant
Overview
If you struggle to get around the house safely because you are older or disabled, you may be able to get a grant towards the cost of adaptations.
A Disabled Facilities Grant is a grant from South Tyneside Council to help towards the cost of adapting your home to enable you to continue to live there. A grant is paid when the Council considers that changes are necessary to meet your needs, and that the work is reasonable and practical.
