Discretionary Disabled Facilities Grant (Lambeth)

Lambeth Council

Description

Considered in exceptional cases only by a review panel drawn from Housing, Regeneration and Environment, and Adult and Community Services — distinct from, and additional to, the national mandatory scheme already covered elsewhere in this directory.

Amount

Discretionary — assessed on an individual, exceptional-case basis; no standard top-up figure published

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

Notes
Re-verified 2026-08-19: page confirms this unchanged — 'in exceptional cases, a top-up discretionary DFG might be available', reviewed by a panel drawn from Housing, Regeneration and Environment, and Adult and Community Services. No published top-up figure. A Home Improvement Agency case officer advises applicants whether they may qualify.
Requirement
Lambeth residents who already qualify for a mandatory Disabled Facilities Grant, whose assessed reasonable cost of necessary structural works exceeds the £30,000 mandatory cap.
