hi I thought I'd updat on what's happening with this, if the archive ever comes online, it will add the loads of posts while we've been trying to get help, it's been a bit of a saga.
Background:
We've been trying to sort out DP for care, to get a PA in a few nights a week and to cover 2 x 3 hour work sessions a week.
I desperately need sleep, (not had an uninterupted night since 1993).
Things have been chronic for a long time but hit a melt down in December.
OH has been having around 30 seizures daily since end November.
GP referred him to Neurologist but that's a different story entirely.
Update:
initial assessments done in Dec.
Assessments by Social Worker end Jan & Feb.
Social worker very nice, says report very complex will be completed in 4 weeks.
March: Social Worker has phoned all reports completed she is bringing it on Thursday for us to read and sign.
She's also bringing a worker from AiLN - the agency who help with payroll etc. next Thursday to talk us through the paperwork and has told them DP is URGENT!
I hope this doesn't take much longer, anybody been at this stage and know how long it takes to complete.
Thanks,
marie
