We moved into an association house and the kitchen is hard for me to use , i.e cupboards at corner l can't get into , the cooker is very low so no able to use properly would need on wall and have limited cupboard space and they are rammed with things falling out when opened . Is there any charity that can help as OT ignored my pleas for a disabled facilities grant ? Thank you

    Did the OT give reasons for refusing to help?

    When you say the cooker is too low what exactly do you mean? Cookers are usually standard height.
