    But it's due to a disability that noise is a problem.

    They told me that needing a door moved wasn't linked enough to disability to warrant the grant and loads of people move doors for cosmetic reasons - I wanted my bathroom door moved because I couldn't manover the wheelchair into the bathroom unaided because the door was awkwardly placed in a corner. They did eventually decide it qualified but I never got the grant in the end, if I need a bath I go to my mums house.

    Social services. But it was appalling. I had something like 2 39 minute sessions in 2010, which I had to beg for. Not received any help from them since.

    I would also need to have noise insulation in my room too. Fed up of being able to hear absolutely everything the neighbours do.
