I did it! I have explained that the only way to get disabled people to attend and feel part of sport is to involve them, and they have listened they want me to try the equipment out before they buy and help there team to work with disabled people without intimidating or insulting. I feel as high as a kite - I feel I have achieved something and its all thanks to you and DPN so thankyou!

I just wanted to thank all at DPN. I called the helpline feeling totally alone and lost with my battle to have a child. Linda on the helpline was wonderful and such a sympathetic person and her empathy gave me my strength back. and later a recieved a phone call from Laura giving me such practical advice and some great contacts. I do not know what I would done without them a really big thank you.!

Thank you very much for your reply. I will discuss the possibility of direct payments with my client. Your info about the Fair Access and DDA stuff will be useful if she decides ot challenge the current position of the social services. It's good to know your service is there, and run by people with direct experience. I expect we will be in touch again at some time!

I just wanted to say to everyone involved at DPN how impressed I have been with the organisation's web site. It's an immensely valuable resource with a wealth of information that is well presented.

Just wanted to let you know that we have had confirmation from adult social services that they will be funding J's son's school transport from next week for the foreseeable future' the payments will be made direct to J as part of her care package' and she is very pleased with this outcome'

I just wanted to thank you for all your support and advice and for your letter which I'm sure helped a great deal'

I guess the other thing is that this can now be used as a point of reference for other similar cases'

"Many thanks for getting back to me, that is fantastic information you have sent. This poor lady has been passed from pillar to post within Social Services, as no one (not even the concerned teams) knew where the responsibility lies. Now that we know, things should progress for her....... I will pass your information to the lady concerned so she can make contact with you in the future, and I am sure she will. She just wants to know what is what and be provided with correct information so she can fight her corner if need be, then she will be able to have her surgery with peace of mind! Many thanks for your invaluable guidance."

"Hi, I have just received a phone call from social services and they are coming out on Friday morning to assess me and my husband's needs, there is also a benefits worker coming out to make sure we are claiming everything that we are entitled to.

Thanks for all your advice and info about the assessment and fingers crossed - all will go well ! (I will be ready with my list!)......everything you have advised me or told me about has been really beneficial. I am glad I made a point of looking into things when I did, it just shows you that help is out there, if you know where to look...."

"Just thought I would update you what is happening with the case I asked your advice about regarding a Disabled Facilities Grant and provision of bath and level access shower facility. The council have agreed to put both in under the Disabled Facilities Grant so we have success! Thanks ever so much for your help"
