Charges for adaptations
How are my finances assessed?
If you have a physical disability and have been assessed as needing an adaptation to your home (such as a ramp to the front door), you must complete a form about your financial position. This lets us work out how much you can afford to pay. We will send you the form, which you can complete yourself or with our help.
How much will I have to pay?
Adaptations that cost less than £1,000 are free — we will not charge you. If the adaptation costs more than £1,000 we will work out what you must pay from your financial form. We will write to you to tell you how much to pay and how we have worked it out. If you have more than £3,000 in savings, you must pay at least £300 towards your adaptation even if you qualify for benefits such as Income Support.
