End of April I have an appointment with Health Assessment Advisory Service for what ever reason.
If I dont go I could lose my ESA benefit. Im F…D without it. I am a full time carer for my partner Dee who has Dementia and I can`t get anyone to cover if I go.
Any sensible ideas what I should do ?
Thanks.
Hello,
Contact your local council who will point you in the right place to go to get help. Or ask your local doctor if they know of a service that covers your situation… Hope this helps and you get someone to cover for you
ring social services and tell them you need someone to look after your wife,for a while,tell them you need it quite soon,i suspect you might have left it too late though,when is the meeting? the reason i ask is SS take a few month to just come out to assess.
Seek advice or assistance from a dementia charity or via Citizen Advice Bureau Good luck Adam
Hi Scudger
Look at Frequently Asked Questions - Health Assessment Advisory Service
Scroll halfway down th page and there is a question about exactly your problem.
Could be worth asking about a visit at home.

They did a home visit for one of my friends.
YOu need to ring them, and sometimes i think they can do it on the phone.
Ring them tomorrow and explain.
Do you not go out at all? Is there no one a friend or family member who could sit with her.
