How help usually works

A center for independent living can help you find local support. Other groups help with work, equipment or benefits. Ask who to call for the help you need.

When help can start: Ask what happens next and whether you will go on a waiting list. The steps and wait depend on the service.

How to start

  1. Call a center for independent living and explain what help you need.
  2. Ask for the support you need to use a service, such as an interpreter or step-free access.
  3. For work or benefits, ask who takes the form and what to send.

What to bring

Ask what papers to bring. Check how to send private records safely before you share them.
