We are becoming aware that the disruption due to the Coronovirus pandemic is causing particular disruption to disabled people, more so than people in the general population, as disabled people often have to rely more on public and other services which are getting cut back.
In order for us to raise the alarm about some of these issues we need to know what is happening to you.
So if you are a disabled person or know a disabled person who is experiencing problems due to self isolation or other issues to do with this crisis please email us at mail@dpac.uk.net
The sorts of things that we want to know about are
- Access to medical treatment and medication
- Social care provision (including home help services)
- Obtaining Food and other essential products
- Problems with accessing information and advice (from Government, NHS, Local Authority other public bodies and utility companies)
- Mental health, is your mental health being affected by the emergency and support and treatment
- Access to work from home if required or the effects of being laid off during the emergency
- problems with housing, paying rent/ mortgage etc
If you have any of these issues or other issues to do with the emergency please let us know at mail@dpac.uk.net and please mark the title of your email with C19
