Dp's mum is only in her 70s, but recently has become alarmingly frail. She barely gets out of bed and seriously struggles getting to the bathroom, let alone downstairs.
Dp and his children all live in her house. One of the children works as an apprentice on £3.30 p/h, the other is unemployed (long story). Dp is on a low wage himself, and with both children being adults and out of education, he doesn't qualify for any tax credits or child benefit. His mum owns the house outright.
Given that in theory his mum could borrow against the house (equity release?) and there are three able bodied adults in the house (albeit with sweet FA between them, moneywise), could they be eligible for some kind of grant towards fitting a downstairs bathroom?
