Administrative / biographical background:

The Independent Living Fund (ILF) was set up a national resource dedicated to the financial support of disabled people allowing them to live in the community rather than residential care. It was funded by DSS/ DWP and the Minister for the Disabled People had ministerial responsibility. Although government-funded, the ILF was a non-departmental public body which operated as an independent and discretionary trust fund managed by a board of trustees.

The departmental registered files show the DSS/ DWP involvement and stewardship.
