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
