Neurodiverse folks with Personal Budgets or trying to access one ?

[Kimmeka]

Do Say Hello . .

Any Neurodiverse folks out there with Personal Budgets or trying to access one ?

Please share any advice, tips or recommendations of any organisations that have been helpful to you along the way, maybe advocacy, care planning or finally providing support?

As I am feeling very lost and alone with all this and figure I cannot possibly be the only one . . .

I am a 44 AUDHD (late diagnosed obvs) gal living in Walthamstow.

Unbelievably I have managed to secure a Personal Budget but cannot use it right now as I can’t afford the client contribution. Every month since Feb this year the council has paid their contribution into my Direct Payment account and the balance is now £1846.59. It's so frustrating.

In May I asked for advocacy to help me appeal the financial contribution and resubmit my financial assessment and to support me to navigate the system as I am struggling.

If anyone has had a similar experience to me or any advice do share?

Kimmeka, Your Personal Budget seems to be specific to the UK correct? People using this website might not recognize what your post is about but may think that you are referring to an Apple or Android app for your phone. Hope you get help for your difficulties. We ADHD folks don't need any more problems dealing with our situations. Good luck in getting this figured out.
