Follow this EDM by:

REFORM OF THE DISABLED FACILITIES GRANT

That this House is extremely concerned about the unfair nature of the disabled facilities grant means test, particularly for families with disabled children; notes that many families who need to make vital adaptations to their home are often forced into massive debt by having to pay for the full cost of adaptations themselves or are unable to carry out the work, leaving their home inaccessible for their child; believes this situation is unacceptable; welcomes the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's current review of the disabled facilities grant; urges the Government to follow the recent decision to abolish the means test in Northern Ireland and Wales; and believes that such a move would greatly improve the quality of life for many disabled children and their families.
