Applications to the Independent Living Fund should be submitted by local authority social work departments on behalf of disabled people in Scotland.
As applicants should already have social care support / SDS package in place to be able to apply, all potential applicants should be known to their local social work department.
Each local authority will have its own approach to identifying and prioritising potential applicants.
All submitted applications will be assessed by ILF Scotland. The maximum award that ILF Scotland is able to pay is £330 per week. Any funding awarded by ILF Scotland will be additional and complementary to the statutory funding provided by a person’s Local Authority.
If you meet the access principles and would like to consider applying to the fund, you should contact your local authority.
