Here are just a few of the things readers will discover:

- How to ascertain your eligibility for support. (Do this and you’ve won half the battle)

- How to present your ‘case’. (Your line of argument can be the difference between a yes and a no)

- The five basic services people can be offered.

- The two sources of funding for health and social care and how they differ.

- Why knowing who pays for what is essential.

- How things were until recently. (this is still relevant and you’ll find out why)

- How things are now and why they are different.

So who should read this book? Well…

If you are too ill or frail to live independently, or know somebody who is, like an elderly parent or disabled child perhaps, and you’re wondering who will provide the necessary support, then this book is for you: it will tell you EXACTLY who should!

Similarly, if you’re just starting to talk to Social Services or the NHS about getting support and are worried about how to approach the situation, then this book is for you: it will tell you EXACTLY what to do!

And finally, if you’ve spent years trying to get the support you need, but have experienced nothing but endless assessments and empty promises, then this book is for you: it will tell you EXACTLY how to get everything you are entitled to!
