Who is your local MP ( i volunteer for the CAB) and if you where telling me this my first reaction was to contact your MP’s office and get something sorted, your local CAB should have his/her details
Hi jasonblaze
It sounds like you’re going through a really difficult time and feeling pretty low at the moment. It’s encouraging that you felt you could come to the forum for support. The MS Helpline is here to offer you a safe place to talk and explore your options, and how you are feeling. You can contact them on their freephone line at 0808 800 8000 or email them at helpline@mssociety.org.uk.
It sounds like you are having trouble accessing medication and medical care and attention. You may find it helpful to contact NHS direct, who have an information line and may be able to help you. You can contact them on 0845 4647.
Depending on where you are based, there is a new NHS service called NHS 111 that is being piloted to make it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. You can contact them by dialling 111 which is a freephone number.
The Samaritans are also available 24 hours a day, and provide confidential emotional support for people experiencing suicidal feelings – they can be contacted on 08457 90 90 90 or you can email them at jo@samaritans.org.

Thank you i am having a lot of trouble communicating verbally at the moment which is making my problems real hard to solve also how far a away they have put me is making it hharder even on good days the expence is restricting Not been in one place long enough to claim dla qnd orthough I’m entitled to free travel because I’m war disablement pensioner my pass has eexpired and like every thing. else notin one place long enough to sort it out its a complete catch 22
Whereabouts are you Jasonblaze?
If you’re having trouble verbally you can always e-mail

London enfield at the moment but under Lambeth and that’s where i should be
Jasonblaze,
Just spoke to Enfield council re: your free travel pass. If it’s a pensioner freedom pass, it can be renewed at a post office. If it’s a disabled pass (which runs out after 5 years) then you have to fill out a form from Enfield council (which they can send to you in the post).
Their number is 020 8379 1000
They are Open 8am - 6pm, Monday - Friday, but closed 24th/25th/26th.

If you were living in Lambeth before, they may have your details on record.
Don’t know if that’s any help. Just thought the travel pass might be the easiest problem to tackle.
Let us know me you’re getting on

It was a vetarans pass. issued by the mayors office different. to the council issue one and i can’t really do it till i know I’m goinng to stay put for the four to six it takes to sort out tried to get them to send it to a alternative address but they said it had to go to my adddress .thanks for trying though
As a former serviceman your services benevollent fund (navy, army, RAF) should be able to advise you and/or be able to act on your behalf. Hope this is of some help to you Sue

Nothing useful to offer, I’m afraid, but just to say I am sorry you are having such a rough time and hope that things start going in the right direction for you soon.
