I am elderly or disabled and have difficulty getting around my home easily, how do I find out whether I am entitled to adaptations?

If you want to make some adaptations to your home, you may be eligible for financial support from your council to make small changes.

For larger adaptations, you can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant.
