Hello!
 
Today I had my visit from the Occupational Therapist at my home to assess my needs. 
She determined that I needed an inflatable chair in the bath to help me and also handles on the shower and toilet. She advised of a special chair for the loo, perching stool for the kitchen, an alarm to wear for when I fall and has referred me for a specialised bed. 

I'm awaiting her report, do I send this to the DWP too?

    Yes, i would be very useful. Hopefully, you will receive the report in time to send it. When i had my OT assessment it took a few months for her to send it to me. It was worth the wait though because she went into a huge amount of detail, which will help the review i'm currently going through.

    Ahhh! Thanks Poppy, my assessment is on the 20th so fingers crossed it comes soon! She took alot of information down so I'm hopeful it will support my claim ( if it comes in time!) LOL 

    Best of luck with your review! 🙏🙏
