Hello good afternoon all,
I am entirely naive to this new world I find myself in. The only time I have ever claimed anything is this PIP claim that I am awaiting their decision on, they tell me they have an assessment report without having seen me, so I can only hope it’s a positive outcome.
Anyway, this discussion today has led to a very kind person informing me about a scheme called motorbility. From what I understand depending on the PIP award (if I get one) I may be able to get a converted van to carry an electric wheelchair so I can get out with my wife and kids again without them half killing themselves trying to move me in an entirely impractical vehicle. This is huge! It made me realise I have no idea what other such options, claims or schemes may be available, that may just improve the lives of those with disabilities. The old adage of you don’t know what you don’t know, very much applies to me in this arena.
If any of you have tips on things someone who is disabled can apply for or get through PIP and such like please can you kindly share?
Just give full context, as of today some 14 months of being profoundly disabled I am not part of any schemes, I haven’t claimed nor do I receive anything from anyone apart from my GP insisting I apply for a blue badge which I have and the recent PIP applications.
I apologise if I have placed this in the wrong forum I’m am still finding my way with this community board.
Thank you so much in advance for any advice you share ?
?
