Decision details

Record of decision made by Head of Housing Renewal under delegated powers under the Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant policy

Decision Maker: Head of Housing Renewal

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To allow a Fast Track Grant to include a wash dry WC to simplify the grant process and installation for the client.

Reasons for the decision:

The existing Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant Policy is for a fast track grant to include a stairlift, ramp and wet floor shower. In this case a wash dry toilet is also required and therefore both a fast track and mandatory grant would be needed. In this case the client would have no contribution to the mandatory grant, and the same contractor is to undertake the shower and specialist toilet.

Alternative options considered:

To run 2 grants side by side, which is not good practice, or complete one grant and then commence another which, in this case, is not appropriate.
