We had a stairlift and a wetroom done by social service about 4 years ago, they look into your finances and depending on how much savings you have, you may or may not have to pay something towards it. Sorry don't know figures, things change so quickly.

Hope you get it done soon, it has been wonderful for us

So how will your £16,000 be funded?

Aidi in reply to HuwieHex10 years ago

Through the Disability Funding Grant, this is what my O.H.N told me as it's the only way I could have it done. Also l went through my local Adult social services to be able to get the referal. Hope this helps. Aidi
