Persons with Disability Scheme (Scheme DIS): Grant to Render Residence Accessible

Overview

The aim of the Housing Authority is to give assistance to persons with a disability to render their residence adequate for their needs or to convert part of the existing premises so that the person with a disability lives an independent or semi independent manner close to the family.

This scheme provides that, prior to granting financial assistance, the Authority gives technical advice as regards the nature of adaptation works, which need to be carried out for the best benefit to the applicant or to the person with the disability.

What you'll get

The Disability scheme provides financial assistance so that a property may be adapted for the needs of disabled persons, such as through the installation of a stairlift or the installation of a wheelchair accessible bathroom.  Individuals with an annual income less than €50,000 and assets worth less than €150,000 may apply for financial assistance through this scheme.
