Garden Estates
Is there anywhere that a disabled person can apply for help to have a car port built in their front garden?
Is there a scheme to pay the costs for this work for someone who owns their home but cannot afford to have the work done. My aunt lives on disability and incapacity benefit only following an accident. She cannot walk and relies on her mobility car to get out of her home. Excessive parking restrictions in her area have made it impossible to ensure a space near her home which makes her virtually housebound and dependant on others. There is room in her front garden with some adjustments but she cannot raise funds. I am not in position to help her financially. Is there a scheme or charity that helps with this sort of thing in the UK? If so how much of such a cost might they assist with?
She lives in an ex-council house on an estate. She tried council for marked bay which was approved but would have to be opposite side of road to my aunts house due to road layout and it needed her neighbours approval to go ahead. Sadly they refused which blocked the application.
Does your Aunt have a social worker? If so, get her to ask about Direct Payments.
Use these links for more information:
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/DG_10016128
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/DG_10016957
We have secured these for some of our clients.
Your Aunt will need to be assessed to see if she qualifies for help. This will be easier if she already has a Social Worker, but can still be arranged if she doesn't.
It might be a good idea to seek advice from a charity first, to see if it could be possible, of they know of anyone else who has received direct payments in these circumstances. Social Services in some areas aren't as up with what is allowed, as this is still a fairly new scheme. (I'd hate for you to be fobbed off, if you have a strong case)
Hope this helps.
I'm assuming your Aunt already has a disabled 'blue badge' but if not see this link:
