Thanks Ladies. I was assessed many years ago and did get a raised toilet seat and some feet to raise my bed but that was it. The woman couldn't get out of the house quick enough and she's never been back in touch despite saying she would be. I found the whole experience humiliating as she made me feel I was making a fuss over nothing. Obviously things have gone downhill since then and I should get in touch. I have an emergency appointment with the practice physio on Tuesday as I had to call them to borrow a crutch as I was really struggling to walk. I'm going to ask her for advice and then follow up on it. I should also ask for reassessment for DLA as I get nothing for mobility but again it's the thought of going through all that again, especially as I have an indefinite award

Get onto your local social work office and start yelling for the fittings you need now! My mum has moderate/severe Alzheimer's and our local dept told us to get all necessary help etc lined up now, as it becomes so much harder to get help when the illness/disability becomes severe.
As regards your DLA, are there no local advice centres (not CAB) that can help with the form filling to get you your full range of allowances? Our local service is terrific! I can fully understand not wanting to mess with an indefinite award. |

Nothing here either.
Usually we are informed by post of any deviation from the regular payment. |
