Digital application software for DFGs and other grants

iQGrants Pro, our well-established system for home and telephone interviews, enables the whole DFG application – means-test, full application form and certification – to be done in a single engagement. Tailored to the requirements of your Council, it will use your criteria in the assessment, complete your application form and capture signatures. It can directly import data from our On-Line App. It’s straightforward in use and notably efficient with staff time.

Our Premier system goes beyond DFGs: it integrates your Council’s other grants and services into a single integrated system. From a standing start, the whole of the DFG application and the full package of support agreed for each client can be finalised in a single signed application.

Full digital DFG documentation custom-made for your Council

The requirements for a full DFG application can be complex and diverse, and its completion time-consuming. We collaborated with our customers to make the process easier, more assured and more efficient.

iQGrants Pro deals with the assessment and documentation of DFGs concisely and in one go – no omissions, no repeats, no irrelevant questions. It captures all the information your Council needs, and incorporates your policy – for instance, whether CTR is a passporting benefit and how the authority treats certain military benefits. It will use your Council’s terminology for the Declaration and Certificates, it will populate your application form and it will put all of the documentation in a digital form ready for storage.

Integrated digital applications for all your Housing Grants

DFGs are only one strand in the assistance given to people needing adaptations and support. iQGrants Premier can assist your team to streamline applications for all of your Council’s Housing Grants and additional services. It can capture all the information required for multiple grants, including DFGs, in a single structured questionnaire. And then it can complete all the relevant forms ready for signature. We can even arrange for applications for multiple grants to use a single signature

This capability means that once the information is acquired, it need never be repeated. All the relevant support which the Council can provide can be assessed, documented, signed for and ready for implementation in a single day. Starting with the Friendly Forms On-Line App, if you wish.
