    Just a thought regarding travel to medical appointments, have you thought of checking with the hospitals General Office on whether you can claim travel expenses back?  The Health Board where I work reimburse patients who are on benefits.  It may be worth giving the hospital switchboard a ring, they can probably advise you either way.

    There is sometimes a community transport service for appointments 
    Mine you pay qn annual fee of £6 and then a nominal fee per mile nowhere near as much as taxi 

    You can then book them to take you to appts , shopping, clubs etc 

    My hospital journey cost me 4.50 against taxi fare of £30 

    Try your local council for details or do search on Internet
