Cabinet considered a report seeking approval for the adoption of a Disabled Facilities Grant Policy.
The Policy would ensure the quickest turnaround time for Disabled Facilities Grants applications in order to provide the best possible customer service and the best use of money.
Resolved to agree the new Disabled Facilities Grant Policy.
Reason for Decision:
Funding for Disabled Facilities Grants is from the Government and is now part of the Better Care Fund. In order to fully utilise all the allocated budget, Local Authorities are required to have a documented policy stating how the allocation will be spent.
