Chapter I The main grants
Disabled facilities grants
22 Disabled facilities grants: certificates required in case of tenant’s application.
(1)
A local housing authority shall not entertain a tenant’s application for a disabled facilities grant unless it is accompanied by a tenant’s certificate.
(2)
A “tenant’s certificate”, for the purposes of an application for a disabled facilities grant, certifies—
(a)
that the application is a tenant’s application, and
(b)
that the applicant intends that he (if he is the disabled occupant) or the disabled occupant will live in the dwelling or flat as his only or main residence throughout the grant condition period or for such shorter period as his health and other relevant circumstances permit.
(3)
Except where the authority consider it unreasonable in the circumstances to require such a certificate, they shall not entertain a tenant’s application for a disabled facilities grant unless it is also accompanied by an owner’s certificate from the person who at the time of the application is the landlord under the tenancy.
