Hi @pooch - do you get any support? There is a lot of information about independent living here that might be of help to you.

Hi @pooch,
When you had your OT assessment, did they not look at all the issues with access and entry?
There could be help with aids or adaptations to your home through a Disabled Facilities Grant.
What sort of housing are you living in at the moment?
Best wishes
