Notes: Distinct from the mandatory national £30,000 Disabled Facilities Grant scheme already in this directory — this is Winchester's own discretionary local top-up on top of it. Re-verified: the council's Disabled Facilities Grant Policy has been renewed and now covers 2025-2030 (effective 1 December 2025), superseding the 2023-2025 version sourced at initial research time. The £100,000 overall discretionary cap (inclusive of the £30,000 mandatory entitlement) is confirmed current.
Requirement: Already approved for (or applying for) the mandatory national Disabled Facilities Grant in the Winchester district, with assessed adaptation costs exceeding the £30,000 mandatory cap.
