Disability grants take up to three months to payout from the time of application. But don’t worry, if and when you are approved, you will be back-paid from the day you applied. There is also something called Grant-in-Aid. This stipend is aimed at existing grant holders who require full-time care at home. The money allows the hiring of full-time care services.
