Maybe it was around lucky timing @Kitty. i was under the impression from looking into it for a relative that they have a fixed pot every year as the council in that area closed applications until they got the next year’s pot.
Others will probably have actual experience of this and maybe I’m wrong but the proposal around changing to vouchers to help with adaptations doesn’t appear in any event to be something new because the Disabled Facilities Grant already exists. Albeit that you have to apply to your local council...

I’ve only skimmed your post Bobbler but I noticed you used the word coercion and that is where I was coming from comparing it to action plans for naughty kids. PWME should have their care and support needs met not be bullied/shamed into activities that can easily exceed their capacity.
