Grants or Help

[kate_penney]

Hi all

Its about any grants or help I can get , I have looked on line at the Government wed site and unless I get ESA or other earns related benefits there is nothing to help me.

At the moment I am in the WRAG but don't get any money they just pay my I.N.

I get PIP high rate on both .

I can't get in the bath on my own to have a shower because our bath is old with high sides.

The stairs are a problem to.

Any words of wisdom will help thanks for reading.

Have you been in touch with your Social Services Department or their Occupational Therapy section and asked for an assessment? Every council is different I am afraid in what they will provide but it is worth a try. If yo worked in a certain trade there are often charities associated with those that might help you. Turn2us also have a grants section on their website where you can search for charities that will give grants.

Hi kate_penny

I also echo what has been said by rosewine, as Social Services Occupational Health is probably the best route to follow.

All my hopes and dreams for you

you need to contact the occupational therapist dept at your local social services initially. But also contact your borough council for a disabled facilities grant - they will need an OT report in order to release any money - i got £30,000 which was the max 5 yrs ago
