Does anyone know where to start regarding getting a grant for alterations to our house? I am disabled due to arthritis and need a downstairs toilet. There isn't anywhere to put one inside the house as it is, but we could build onto the side of the house. Would we need planning permission etc. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

you need to ask your local council/social services about a disabled facilities grant. You might find it cheaper to get a stairlift though
