I rang my housing association a month or so ago to ask about getting permission for a conservatory to be erected in my garden, i was told I could as it was a disability issue.
All I had to do was get either my OT or my doctor to fill in the appropriate form, I forgot what the form was so rang them back this week, I was then told I was not allowed to have one and to just put up a shed.
Why would I put an expensive wheelchair in a shed (£17,000), I doubt an insurance company would insure it if it was in a shed -. it would need regular charging and being close to house it would be easily accessible. I cannot use a normal self-propelling wheelchair as my arms and hands are painful and not strong enough, I am therefore stuck indoor 99% of the time. An electric wheelchair (with a hoist for the car) would give me back my freedom as the wheelchair is hands free.
The conservatory would be put up by a reputable company, so would not be some awful carbuncle. I would appreciate any help with what I can do.
