I do hope you are successful Luckygirl. The worst thing is having to be so resilient at a time when you are emotionally and physically knackered. It is such a fight for everything, funding, equipment, appropriate care.........I am sure you are correct in that they hope people will just give up - and they do.

Lazirl - I suspect that is what they are banking on. Make it so difficult - indeed illegally difficult - and people give up.

The judge in the landmark case on this topic said that his judgement meant that most elderly people leaving hospital would qualify. The NHS tries to keep this secret.

Signed. Hope it gets sorted soon for you Lucky.

Thanks for petition link Lucky. I tried to get this funding for my mother who can do nothing for herself, but it seems it is almost impossible, unless someone is in a coma! I gave up fighting in the end as it was going to prove prohibitively expensive to appeal, even using a 'not for profit' law firm.

Signed Luckygirl. I do hope things sort out for you soon.

Signed. I do hope we at least reach 10000 signatures. Being a technophobe I cannot send this on. but if everybody on GN does, which I doubt as there is no financial incentive (sorry, could not resist that!)

Here is the link to a petition asking for the wholly unfair system of continuing health care funding to be overhauled.

I have been locked in this mess for weeks.
