Reports for Funding
Manchester OT provide reports to help our clients secure funding from a range of organisations. The common types of reports our occupational therapists are asked to write include:
Disabled Facilities Grant Assessments
The occupational therapists at Manchester OT can complete an assessment for any major adaptations that you need to your house to enable you to be more independent or assist you to complete daily activities, for example, level access shower, stairlift, through floor lift etc. Once the assessment has been completed and the need for an adaptation has been agreed, your occupational therapist will pass their recommendations onto the relevant organisation.
It may be that you would be eligible for a disabled facilities grant to contribute towards the cost of the adaptation and your occupational therapist can support your application for this.
Attendance Allowance
Attendance Allowance is a weekly payment for people over the age of 65 who have a medical condition that means that they need help with personal care. It is not taxed or means tested and you do not have to be actually receiving the help to qualify as it is based on need.
Our occupational therapists can complete an assessment with you and provide supporting evidence and information to help your claim, if appropriate.
Disability Living Allowance
Disability Living Allowance is a payment for people under 65 years old that, due to a medical condition, need help with personal care and/or you have difficulty walking and need help to get around and have experienced these problems for at least three months and are likely to continue to experience these for at least a further six months.
Our occupational therapists can complete an assessment with you and provide supporting evidence and information to help your claim, if appropriate.
