There are no such grant schemes available for persons in receipt of disability benefit.
However, under the disabled persons grant scheme a local authority may pay a disabled person's grant in respect of works of adaptation that, in the opinion of the authority, are reasonably necessary for the purpose of rendering a house more suitable for a disabled person. Subject to the regulations, it is a matter in individual cases for local authorities to determine eligibility for a grant and the type of works for which a grant may be given. Local authorities may, for the purposes of determining the level of a disabled persons grant, include the cost of providing central heating in the overall cost of necessary adaptation works. In circumstances where a proposed central heating system extends beyond the accommodation for the disabled person, an apportionment of the cost is made.
