This Order amends the Disabled Facilities Grants and Home Repair Assistance (Maximum Amounts) Order 1996 (“the 1996 Order”) in so far as it applies in Wales.

The 1996 Order, among other things, prescribes the maximum amount of home repair assistance which a local housing authority may give under Chapter III of Part I of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.

Article 4 of the 1996 Order, which prescribes the maximum amount of home repair assistance for one application, is amended to increase that maximum from £2,000 to £5,000.

Article 5 of the 1996 Order, which prescribes a maximum amount of home repair assistance payable in respect of the same dwelling, house-boat or mobile home in any period of three years is revoked.
