There are no proposals to change the amount payable under the disabled person's grant scheme.
A review of the scheme is, however, being finalised in my Department at present and on its completion I will be in a position to determine the changes, if any, required to the regulations governing the scheme to ensure that the funding available is directed at those persons in greatest need of such assistance.
