Yep. I got one of those. Saw her about 6 years ago. She has never
bothered coming back despite several requests. Got a new one last
year. Told her about the poor attendance of her predecessor. She
claimed that she would not be like that and that she would keep in
touch and make regular visits. Never heard from her since.

Hooray. At last. As to what and how to do with it, it rather depends
on the budget that you are assessed at. If you get over £200 per week
then you may qualify for extra funding from ILF.

Even if you don't keep a car you can pay a carer to drive you around
and pay toward their fuel and milage costs under the rules of some
local auth. Check yours once you have your budget. If you need any
further help spending the wad give us a shout.

Good luck.
