Leonard Cheshire Disability has published new research
into the long wait that many disabled people face when they desperately need
adaptations to their homes. The report, The Long Wait for a Home, reveals that,
shockingly, these delays are the result of breaches in the law by local
councils. Last year, two councils in three (62%) failed to pay for
agreed adaptations at least once within the one-year time limit set out in the
Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. Download a copy of the
report from the Leonard Cheshire Disability website.
