For pieces of equipment provided by the OT Service there
is no charge, either for delivery, maintenance or
collection.
For minor adaptations carried out by our own OT Service
technicians there is also no charge. If you live in a local
authority or housing association property this work may be carried
out by their own technicians. Again, there will usually be no cost
for this, however, some housing associations may levy a small
charge.
For major works, that cannot be carried out by our technicians,
there are means-tested grants* called disabled facilities grants
available to help people meet the cost of this type of adaptation.
These grants are administered by the local district/borough/city
councils and they can provide more information about the grant
process and advise on the likely contribution which you would have
to make towards the cost of the work.
* Applications made in respect of a child are no longer means
tested. |
