Details of the capital funding being provided for the disabled persons grant scheme will be made available in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2004 which will be published shortly.

Notification of capital allocations for the payment of disabled persons grants in 2004 will issue to local authorities as soon as all authorities have submitted details of their expenditure on the scheme in 2003 together with an estimate of their requirements for 2004.
