Who is this grant for? 

This grant is for older people and/or disabled people who find it hard to move around their home due to mobility issues.

What can I use this grant for? 

You can use this grant to improve access in your home like adding:

  • Grab Rails
  • Ramp
  • An accessible shower
  • Fixed track Hoists (excluding any servicing, maintenance and training costs)
  • A Stair lift 

 Occupational therapist assessment

An occupational therapist (OT) will need to assess you if you are applying for a fixed track hoist or a stair lift. You can get this report from a private occupational therapist. If your grant application is successful, your local authority will pay you up to €300 towards the cost of this assessment as part of the grant.

How much is the grant for? 

It depends. The most you can get is €8,000 or the total cost of the work approved by your local authority (whichever is less). This grant can cover 100% of the cost of the work, up to a maximum of €8,000. There are some disregards and deductions that can reduce the amount of household income that your local authority takes into account. We explain these on pages 8-9.

Note: A grant is not available if the household income for the previous tax year (or the current tax year in some special cases – see page 16) is more than €37,500. This is after the disregards and deductions are applied.

What the grant does not cover? 

It does not cover the VAT cost of the work. You may be able to reclaim (get back) some of the VAT from Revenue after you have paid for the work (see www.revenue.ie for more information).
