New report highlights issues faced by people with motor neurone disease accessing accessible homes

A lifeline not a luxury COVER

This Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association report shows that Disabled Facilities Grant delivery is a postcode lottery, impacted by unacceptably long wait times, unfair and inconsistent means testing, and variable approaches to the application of the means test and grant levels.

It explains that these issues prevent many people with MND from making urgently required adaptations to their homes, putting them and their carers at risk of worse health outcomes, avoidable accidents and a drastically reduced quality of life.
