Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to reform the Disabled Facilities Grant to improve access for disabled homeowners with high adaptation needs, particularly those with degenerative conditions such as Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

Further to the answer provided by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on 18 November 2025 in response to Question 88803, local authorities have discretion in managing their Disabled Facilities Grant funding and can publish a local housing assistance policy, including detail on how they will respond to degenerative conditions such as primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

The Department of Health and Social Care has provided £723 million in funding for the Disabled Facilities Grant in 2026/27. The Government continues to keep all aspects of the Disabled Facilities Grant under consideration.
