In addition to your personal budget, you may be entitled to money from other sources, such as

• Independent Living Fund – this is money to help disabled people over 16 and under 65 to live in the community
  
• Disabled Facilities Grant – this can pay for changes to your house, like a stair lift or a wet room.  We can organise a specialist assessment to advise how these adaptations might be arranged.  More information can be found in our leaflet Adapting your Home;
• Integrated Community Equipment Services – this pays for equipment you might need, like a raised toilet seat or a grab rail
  
• Access to Work – this can pay for the cost of workplace adjustments to help a disabled person take up or retain paid work
  
• Supporting People funding – this is spent on housing related support, to help people live independently in their own home. It can pay for things like help to develop life skills such as understanding a tenancy agreement or cooking. 

Your practitioner will be able to advise you what other money you may be entitled to and this can be added to your Personal Budget so that you can develop your support plan.  This final amount is called an Individual Budget.
