NHS England letter for the vulnerable: If you haven't had one

[PMRpro]

They have allowed all week but I gather you can also apply online using this link:

But remember: if you are not working you must be remaining at home and not having contact with others from outside your household. That counts as stringent social distancing and is all that we are asked to do here in Italy. If you don't go out for a walk or shopping you are doing almost as much as self-isolation.

did the first bit which asked for

Sex

Age

Date of birth

Next question was address where you need help

I stopped thier .

I think the page before sets out the reason. If people are unsure but might feel like they have conditions that they might think mean they should register and have slipped through the cracks.

Thank you

I know I scored 2 points for Steroids but the Heart Disease I'm not sure about as it depends on your condition.

Sort of dreaded post coming this morning but nothing yet .

But if I get one like everyone else I will deal with it .

Take Care

[Hidden in reply to Rose54]

You too.

Agreed I think this is for those who don’t have anyone to help them get shopping etc : so I didn’t apply.

A GP has said that the system wasn't perfect and suspects there are numerous patients who weren't caught in their net. He offered to write a "To whom it may concern" letter for them - but you really don't know in advance whether you may need assistance of some sort if your carer is ill, even if it isn't Covid19 they get. It is worth following up.
