QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask how long it takes the Council to process an application for a Housing Adaptation Grant and what measures are in place to expedite urgent cases

REPLY:

The average time to process a completed application for housing adaptation grants is currently just over nine weeks. Procedures are in place to expedite applications where the Council is notified of an urgent case where the applicant is terminally ill or fully/mainly dependent on family or a carer and/or adaptations would help them leave hospital/residential care.
