Government is being urged to build on an 8% increase in
the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) to help councils deliver home adaptations. The
centre for Aging Better says that though the increase is welcome, there’s more
to do to support older people and people with a disability to live at home
safely and independently. Government has confirmed the national Disabled
Facilities Grant (DFG) budget will increase by 8% to £505m, announced as part
of the 2019/20 Policy framework for the Better Care Fund. The DFG is used to
deliver home adaptations and other alterations, so people can stay living in
their chosen homes. Read more on 24housing.
