Hi @wright669 welcome to teh community. I hope you're keeping well?

That sounds like quite a rollercoaster of emotions, but at least it sounds like there's some movement finally.

Sadly I think this must happen a lot. I live near Cardiff and have been waiting now for 18 months for one from the wheelchair service. I can’t manage without one and just had no choice but to buy one independently. But not everyone has the means to do that. Complaining doesn’t seem to achieve much in my experience. Disability doesn’t come cheap. Most people don’t realise the extra costs we incur. I hope you get one soon.
