Disabled Facilities Grant budget to increase to £723 million in 2026/27

The Government has advised that the Disabled Facilities Grant budget will be £723m for the next financial year. In addition to the one-off £50m announced last month for 2025/26, a further £12m has been allocated for next year.

In addition, over 150,000 people will get at least £400 back in their pockets to help with the cost of living, thanks to government action to support adults with disabilities.
