Grant Advice

€6,000

The maximum amount available in a stairlift grant is €6000. This may cover up to 100% of the cost of installing a stairlift in your home.

What does it cover?

If your stairlift does not cost the full €6000, the mobility aids grant will cover the cost of the stairlift and installation. The grant also covers the purchase and installation of grab-rails, a level access shower and access ramps.

You may qualify for the Mobility Aid Housing Grant Scheme if you meet any of these conditions:

• You are over 65 with or without a disability
• You are under 65 with a disability or serious illness

The grant is means tested and you may not get a full grant for your stairlift. This decision is based on your eligibility for the grant and is determined by the local Council.

In order to appy for the grant you will need:

• Your PPS number
• Proof of any income
• Details of your tax district
• Confirmation that your tax is in order
• Evidence that the Local Property Tax on the house has been paid.
• A report from your Doctor and an/or Occupational Therapist
• A written itemised quotation.

Please note, all installers must also supply a tax clearance certificate - please contact us in relation to this.

We are available to guide you throughout the stairlift grant application process and happy to provide any of the information you need.

Anyone with a disability that requires stairlift can claim VAT back. You will need a VAT 61A form or you can submit a request through ROS.

We are happy to help with this so please contact us for more information.
