Patient & Family Support Service
The Gauchers Association Patient and Family Support Service can help with any unmet support needs (non-medical). We can support you with a whole range of issues. For example, guiding you through benefit applications (Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA)), attending appointments, accessing home adaptations, liaising with homecare teams, appeals for schools, getting support at college.
