My Department's involvement in the disabled grants scheme relates primarily to the recoupment of a proportion of local authority expenditure on the payment of individual grants. The administration of the scheme and decisions on individual applications are the responsibility of the appropriate local authority, in this instance Kildare County Council, with which queries on particular cases may be taken up.
