is there anything I can do for them for make the decision qiucker? I.e ........get my doc to write to them or anything else?

My next door neighbour applied to our local council for the wet room (bought house) and they have sorted it all out for them. I am sure they didn't take 8 months to make a decision. Maybe someone at your local council could help you.

When my son needed a wet room, I think it took a few weeks for a decision, but several months before it was actually built. The whole process was, if I remember correctly, about nine months.

Outs was about 9 months as well, from start to finish we had ours done via a recommendation from the ot, then via a charity, when we had it was knock dividing wall down from loo to bathroom swop lol to the other side, ours took 2 weeks to do and we had to move out as no downstairs toilet xx

I think it varies from council to council.

I waited 2 years (start to finish) with one authority, but people seem to get them done quicker in this area.
