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.
