Hi Christeen,
Thanks very much for this factsheet, there were even things in here that I didn't know myself, like the fact that social services can provide the services directly themselves if requested by the client and that you can apply to have an increase in your direct payments if the amount you receive isn't sufficient for your needs. 

Thanks again, Ibrahim.

Yes, they must fulfill their duties, but it's still possible for them to
do that using the grant I mentioned. For example here in York we have the
Disabled Facilities Grant. Like I say, not all of them are using the same
processes or names for the grants they offer.

Yes Peter, your right, some councils are reluctant to change, but obliged by Law to fulfil their duties, if asked...By 2012 all VI people must have 
been assessed and have our needs met.  Christine.

Behind the times? I can't know everything! However I did get a grant
just a few months ago so perhaps not all councils are using the same
process.

Peter, SDS is now in place rather than you applying to your council as
you used to!  Sorry, your behind in times as well as emails as I've
already answered your question.  I hope people will look into SDS and
use it. Christine.

Apply for SDS and ask for help with specialist equipment.  This is
the Only way I know of doing it and it worked for me.  Christine.

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone knows of where I can apply for help
with the
cost of Access Technology as I'm unemployed at the moment and would
really
like to purchase such things as a scanner plus software, and a full
working
version of JAWS for starters (I have the demo version of JAWS 11 and 
am fed
up with having to reboot after 40 minutes, I also have NVDA which is 
pretty
good, but still prefer JAWS).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers
