Hi @Lostlady ,

Welcome to Scope's online community!

There's a good online database here where you can search to see what grants might be available: www.turn2us.org.uk 

Your local independent living service may also know of any grants you can access: https://www.scope.org.uk/Support/Service-directory#panel-map

I also know on a lot of items, if you have proof of disability (your husband's DLA works as proof) then you can get V.A.T relief on items like a high rise toilet.

Hope that helps,
Becca

Hi @Lostlady

Are you in touch with an Occupational Therapist?

A Disabled Facilities Grant is a mandatory ‘means-tested’ financial grant. It helps meet the cost of adapting a property (including mobile homes and houseboats) where a disabled person lives.

You could try our online grant checker, too.

Best wishes, Alex
