Ask for support from the council

You may be eligible for support if you have a condition, illness, disability or addiction that impacts your daily life and wellbeing. 

For example, stops you from doing daily activities such as:  

• food shopping and preparing food and drink 
• washing yourself and your clothes
• getting dressed or undressed
• going to work, college or volunteering
• keeping your home clean and safe to live in
• getting around your home and transferring to the toilet safely
• getting to medical appointments or collecting medication
• getting out to meet people and doing social activities 
• looking after a child who is in your care 

You can get support if you’re unable to do these tasks safely without support. Or if doing them causes you pain, distress or anxiety.
