Stair lift
grants
Many people require
financial help to help them install a stair lift or other
mobility aids.
Governments and councils
often give stair lift grants because it saves them the cost
of rehousing people. Put simply, it is more cost effective
for them to help people to stay in their own
homes.
Stair lift grants differ
from region to region and country to country but there is
information about how many authorities operate them if you
search on the internet.
A grant called the Disabled
Facilities Grant is available to people in parts of the
UK to adapt their homes so they can carry on living
there.
Examples of work that can be
carried out with the assistance of such a grant
include: installation of stair lifts, adding a
downstairs bathroom, adapting heating and lighting controls,
widening doors and installing ramps.
Depending on the condition
and circumstances of the person making the application, some
grants for stair lifts are subject to means testing or other
checks and restrictions.
Usually there is a maximum
grant amount that can be made to people looking for help
with the cost of a stair lift or other mobility
aid.
