Hi all

I am on a low income and disabled am wondering if I can get a grant for a down stairs toilet underneath my stairs?

Hello @Trishe5, welcome to the community. You could try looking into getting a Disabled Facilities Grant. That can be used to make adaptations to your home, so perhaps a downstairs toilet would come under that if it's for your disability or condition? There are some eligibility criteria, but you can read a bit about it here:

Disabled Facilities Grants: Overview - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Scope have a page about grants for adaptations that you might find useful. I'll also pop your post into our housing section where more members can offer their advice and experiences. Hope you'll enjoy your time on the community 😊

First thing you need to do is refer yourself for a needs assessment from your local Authority.
