Get a helping hand with stairlift costs

The Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) is one of the primary ways individuals in the UK can receive funding for home adaptations, such as the installation of stairlifts. This government-backed grant is provided through local authorities and is designed to help individuals with disabilities maintain safety and independence within their homes.

In addition to the DFG, local authorities may offer their own funding schemes or loans to help with the cost of a stairlift. This can vary depending on the area, so it’s worth contacting your local council’s housing or social services department to inquire about specific programs.

Although Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Attendance Allowance are not specifically for home adaptations, these benefits are designed to help individuals with the extra costs of living with a disability. The money received can be used to help cover the cost of a stairlift if you qualify.

Several UK-based charities and non-profit organizations offer financial assistance or grants to individuals who require a stairlift but may not have the means to afford one. These organizations focus on supporting people with disabilities, the elderly, and those facing financial hardship, ensuring they have access to essential home adaptations that improve their quality of life
