Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure that the statutory maximum grant available for a Disabled Facilities Grant increases in line with inflation.

The Government has invested just over £1 billion in the Disabled Facilities Grant since 2010. When the cost of the adaptation exceeds the maximum limit, local authorities have the discretion to provide additional funding. The future funding of the Grant is a matter for the Spending Review.
