To seek approval to award a Discretionary
Disabled Facilities Grant beyond the amount of £10,000
The Portfolio Holder authorises the approval
of a Discretionary Disabled Facilities Grant for circumstances
outside the current policy.
The priorities within the current Gedling Plan
include:
•Reducing hardship and provide support to the most
vulnerable
•Improve health and wellbeing
Approving the grant will directly improve the health and wellbeing
for the claimant
Consideration has been given to sourcing
charitable funding but this is unlikely and could take a number of
months to resolve. The family have little funds to allocate to the
project due to living on Income related Employment and Support
allowance. The claimant’s wife is a full time carer and son
is currently unemployed so unable to help contribute towards the
cost of the works.
