    Hello @fox1958, welcome to the community ☺️

    That sounds stressful! Sorry to hear this has got you feeling so worried. Did they explain why you suddenly need to clear it out after so long with no issues? Do you still use the equipment from the cupboard regularly?

    This may be due to fire regulations.

    Where I live we've also been told we can't store items in separate cupboards any more. I've had to get rid of a lot of items since that change was made. Fortunately it's not disability equipment in my case though.

    I think you'll need to ask them to confirm the reason why you're no longer allowed to use it and see whether there's any legal basis to challenge it.
