How can I contact an Occupational Therapist to assess my need for a Disabled Facilities Grant?
You can contact your Social Services Department to request assessment by an Occupational Therapist (OT) on 01753 690400. Alternatively, you can employ a private OT to assess you. Their fee can be re-fundable out of the grant monies available, but only if your application is successful. If your need is urgent you will be allocated an OT within 7 working days. Otherwise all requests are currently dealt with in date order, so you may have to wait between 2-4 months for an assessment. The OT will discuss your needs with you and then make a referral to Private Sector Housing, in accordance with eligibility guidelines.
