Do you have extra costs because you or your child is disabled?

Wheelchairs - I have an NHS chair plus 2 sports chairs
Gloves for said wheelchair
Extra wheelchair cushion

Wear and tear on the carpet when I'm using the chair indoors.

Food - I need a high salt and fluid diet

Taxis - I'm not allowed to drive and I attend 5 different specialists at 3 hospitals

Money for delivery charges because i can't just nip out and buy something

Pre-chopped veg and the cost of lowering a kitchen

Can't think of anything else at the moment - I'll ask my other half it's his favourite whinge

Husband stays at home to cover the sons - 1 of whom has epilepsy. Not looking for work, so not eligible for anything. He can't drive so consultant appointments mean I have to take leave & drive them as public transport in our area isn't reliable enough.
A recent fit by a fireplace meant hospital time & then redressings - more leave, more fuel, more carparking fees & the medics want us to up his protein intake so yet more on the food bill.
He's our lad though. Might wish things were different but it could all be so much worse. Faint hope he may outgrow it, but focusing on as stable as we can help & good GCSEs!
