Our campaign features at LGA Conference 2026
The Motor Neurone Disease Association promoted its Unlock the Door campaign at the Local Government Association Conference 2026. The campaign calls for faster Disabled Facilities Grant processes and waived means tests for people with motor neurone disease applying for home adaptations. The association said 10 councils have passed motions supporting fast-tracking after its campaign.
Why this matters
People with MND may face delays when applying for adaptations to their homes. Faster decisions could help councils respond more quickly to housing, safety and independence needs, but this report does not show that the campaign has yet improved outcomes for individuals.
Limitations and context
This is a report from the MND Association, not an independent evaluation or primary research study. It does not provide details of the 10 council motions, confirm how many councils have implemented fast-tracking, or measure effects on people with MND. The conference discussion and campaign requests therefore do not establish that faster processes have delivered better outcomes.
