    Hi @jontieb - Welcome from me too. Sorry to read about your's & your wife's problems, but how lovely that you both volunteer with your local Parkinson's Support group, & then to read that you wish to understand problems other disabled people face too, I can only thank you for joining Scope's online community.
    Seems like you're looking around this forum OK, but if you have any questions about this please say.
