Hi @Jeanetty, that's good to hear. Have you submitted the forms yet?
You also might find the benefit calculator useful to see if you could claim anything else.
If you think you would benefit from more support or equipment, then you can self refer yourself for a needs assessment.
I hope these help and if you have any questions then please do let me know!Scope
