Hello everyone, thank you all for the welcome. I have just found out about access to work and I will be checking it out. The thing is I have don’t similar things in the past which haven’t helped much. I will definitely give it a go.

Hi @nimo

I have had some great help/support with “Access to Work” when I returned to work in 2006.

They came to my workplace & organised all of the adaptations in & around my workstation.

I ended up with a whole new work area.

This didn’t go down well with my other work colleagues .

As they had all been there many years before me.
