Hi @dunnesy
Welcome to the community! Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself?Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
I am a older lady with impaired cognitive function and I have MS and physical disabilities. A family member has to help me write my posts and I need help with claiming benefits. This is why I joined Scope. Thank you for asking about me
