Better access to the community. Scope is a charity which aims to give people with disabilities more opportunities. One of the ways they do this is by providing volunteers who can help get people out into the community. The website says this can include helping people with disabilities get to social clubs. So if you have transport issues getting to Elevate this might be something that could help you. You can find out more at the following link.http://www.scope.org.uk/support/services-directory/support-disabled-adults-access-community-1

Benefits Advice

At present it is generally recognised that the 'Work Capability Assessment' for ESA is not seeing a high success rate at accurately assessing people's work capability, especially with people who have variable health conditions. This is leading to a high percentage of appeals being successful and it is likely more will be successful if they receive good assistance and advice for the process claiming and being reassessed for.

Benefits advice and assistance through 'ME Support Norfolk.'

Benefits assistance with a high degree of expertise and claim/appeal success may well be available through ME Support Norfolk and Dan Ward 01263 861521.

This group's benefits advisor Dan Ward visits Elevate on a regular basis and often talks through benefits issues on a one to one basis.

'Benefits and Work' is an independent organisation providing comprehensive downloadable guides for assistance with forms and appeals. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk

However having a the benefits advisor mentioned on this page may well be more helpful or compliment the advice from 'Benefits and Work' downloadable guides. The former costs less than a membership to ME Support Norfok.
