I rang up the grants team last Thursday and have been referred over to the complex driving solutions team. After a bit of missing each other, we finally made contact today and it’s gone from an elevating swivel out of car seat option to a possible/probable WAV/TIV/DFW as the best way forward.
How long it takes from here is anyone’s guess, I’ve never got this far before!
To be honest, I feel a little daunted, I thought the swivel seat option was the better and most cost-effective option, but they are concerned it still doesn’t give me the independence required. I like big cars but a WAV is another planet completely…I suppose I’m doing my normal and trying to deny reality but it’s a blooming scary realisation that things have deteriorated this much.
For context, I am in the second year of an extension on my current vehicle and really struggling with it now and can no longer go out in it independently.
