Hi Sam.
im on the low tariff with Scottish Power and I do get help as well.
i've been having problems also with my scooter shed doors and I've been having my O.T round from Mole Valley and she has managed to get Independent home solutions round for an estimate and they are asking £5,000 which is no way I can afford to pay. I have also got the surveyor coming from Circle Housing on Friday afternoon about something else, but I'm going to mention this to him. Ideally I would like my brick shed to be extended which would be two walls, roof and an electric door to my it safer for me as I fall over a lot. Would Scope be able to help me fund this in any way. I must also point out, that I've never had financial help before in my life and I feel Scope should help me as I've had cerebral palsy all my life.
Kind Regards
Paul Goodman
