Hi everyone
Need some advice and suggestions .
I recently had Mums application for a Blue Badge refused .
The reason given was not enough supporting information re Mums diagnosis.
Ok now I don’t know about anyone else.
Mum was diagnosed over 4/5 yrs ago. (We were on a 20 minute repeat cycle back then, now we are on a 2 minute repeat cycle) once she had diagnosis we’ve pretty much been left to it. It’s only because I’m a parent to two Autistic boys I’m familiar with the whole system of applying for things and researching and being patient we’ve achieved what we have achieved.
Ok I digress,
Mum is wobbly on her feet. Get a lot of leg pain resulting from horrendous varicose veins and gout. (When the gout rages!)
She has no real idea where she is generally, or who people are. Totally time blind. She can get really anxious and occasionally looses sense of social boundaries (social distancing and masks, and the whole impact of covid was horrible for all of us, mum deteriorated at a faster pace.)
Now I put all this , her meds list. The fact she needs physical support to walk to be guided. And to keep her safe. Put all her medical conditions.
What else can I put. Dad had to use a wheelchair yesterday at the hospital because the car park is way too far from any of the clinics for her to walk to. She had her veins scanned.
I’ve contacted the GP surgery explained the problem but no suprise 6 weeks later I’ve not heard anything (yes I’ve got power of Attorney. We sorted all that quite early)
Is there any keywords or terminology I may have missed. And no we don’t have a recent medical letter from the consultant who diagnosed her. She’s not seen him since diagnosis. (We do book her in with GP surgery prob once a year to discuss anything that’s altered generally anything urgent we get her seen asap.)
Oh and Surgery will want paying if they do decide to give us any new letters.
Would appreciate any input from my fellow Alzheimer warriors.
Thanks in advance.
