People with disabilities

People with disabilities – information and advice including paying for care at home, paying for sheltered housing, funding for adaptations and disability and housing benefit entitlements.

Help when away from home

You could get housing benefit to cover short times away in hospital or even two homes if you have to wait for your adaptations to be finished before you move in.

Disability costs

Could you get benefits to help ? You can claim Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance even if you have other income or savings.

Buying adapted or sheltered housing

Could you sell your place and buy sheltered housing or use a home-ownership scheme to help you move closer to family or friends?

Adapting your home

Could you carry on living at home if you get your place adapted to meet your needs?

Community care assessments

The time may come when you’ll need help to live at home. Get a community care assessment to see what support you can get.
