Organisation of DFG works

A caseworker will be assigned to liaise with the applicant and their family; to carry out the test of resources (means test) and to provide advice.

We will arrange for necessary assessments to be carried out. This will depend on the works needed: some adaptations are relatively simple to install and do not require planning or building control permissions, whilst others are complex and will take more time to approve.

We will work with the applicant to produce a design scheme, and when that is approved, we will support the appointment of a contractor, and we will oversee the works to make sure they are completed properly and meet your needs.

Works can include the provision of specialist equipment such as stairlifts and ramps. We recycle equipment where possible, so equipment provided may be re-commissioned before it is delivered to your home.
