| Annotation | Age Concern England (ACE) responds to the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) consultation paper on disabled facilities grants (DFGs) with regard to: changes in the DFG means test; the relaxation of the DFG ring fence; options for new property charges and delivery mechanisms (including the re-designation of stair lifts as community equipment). ACE is concerned that without extra resources to fund the new proposals, older people may be even more disadvantaged. (RH). |
