Hi @mandi68 you are best to call the Scope helpline on 0808 800 3333 to speak to Debbie in person.

Hi @Debbie_Scope
Can you please help me with this post?????

Sorry for the delay. Basically I was born with the loss of my left forearm. I have repetitive strain on my right wrist which is painful. I have depression and panic attacks and also have nocturnal episodes. So just wanted to know my entitlements. .
