Hi All,

But has anyone had any success in getting the DFG or having minor adaptions in the house.

I would need to have rails and prehaps a small wet area in my bathroom, as my current mental health and Autism are making it very difficult for me to currently use them plus there's damp which increases my anxiety further.

I would be assessed by an OT but my local council has trained their OTs in Autism yet, so there may be problems with this.

 

Anywho, any advice?

    I wish we could have something like this, with 3 of us on the spectrum we could do with funding to pay for sound-proofing from our neighbours.  Very stressful.

    Thanks for this. I was told by the council they couldn't rehouse me somewhere quiet; nor am I priority. Despite being constantly woken up at night / being kept up at night due to the neighbours noise. (which the neighbours deny)
