Thanks to all for the replies :)
I've been in touch with Carersuk over the last 5 years and all they've offered is for me to go on the odd day trip or pub lunch etc. Not possible as I can't use...
Apart from his Autism he has no physical problems so only gets low rate mobility and despite it being agreed he needs 24/7 supervision only gets mid rate care. He did go through a period of being...
OK, so, having read all the info about PIP and assuming that I'll be one of the many thousands of high rate mobility recipients (indef. award) that will be "down graded" I'm starting to get very...
Waste of time :(
Basically, as I have a shower that (just) works and I can get into (with a great deal of difficulty and pain) it's not urgent so there's nothing going to be done. Even if it was...
Update, after several more calls to the council, my housing association and SCD I have an OT coming out on Wednesday morning to look at the bathroom :)

Just an update.
31st of May came and went a week ago, despite giving them two extensions the promised reply from the NHS Trust has not arrived.
Still haven't been contacted by the Derwentside...
£200 off my CRV to get me to order it through them instead of another branch of the same dealership (who offered nothing).
Went to PALS twice.
The first time was to complain about my sons GP giving incorrect information to the Police when we applied for his shotgun license, PALs wouldn't touch it.
Went again about...
Just a quick update.
Had another phone call from a Trust Complaints manager, they'd read my 3 page reply but the investigating officer is on holiday until April 24th, I asked if it was a long...
