Use it before you pay
The checklist is most useful before you sign anything. VAT relief must be confirmed at the point of order, and Disabled Facilities Grants require an occupational therapy assessment and council paperwork that can take time. Working through the PDF first means you arrive at the home survey already knowing which routes you qualify for and which you don't.
