Free Funding Application Process
Living with a complex disability can often bring extra financial pressures. At DisabilityPlus, we understand this.
We support clients and GPs across England and Wales, aiming to provide access to free counselling and offer crucial support during challenging times.
Proccess of a Funding Application
1—Referral: Please complete the simple referral form below.
We’ll then review your information to determine your eligibility for funding.
2—Questionnaire: If you are eligible, we will send you a questionnaire to learn more about your disability and its impact on your daily life.
This will help us gather essential information beforehand, making your assessment session more efficient.
3—Assessment Session: Depending on your disability and communication style, a therapist who shares your disability will conduct a video call or telephone assessment.
This information and your completed questionnaire will allow us to create a comprehensive report for your GP.
4 – Decision: The NHS makes funding decisions on a case-by-case basis, and the average wait time is 12 weeks.
While it can be shorter (8 weeks), it may also take longer, depending on your GP’s processing time.
If you do not live in an area that supports DisabilityPlus or your circumstances do not fit within your NHS area funding criteria, we will inform you immediately.
We also offer self-paid counselling if this is an option for you.
Self-paid counselling is also available for the interim period between the application and funding approval.
Even when we apply, we cannot guarantee funding approval, as the NHS makes decisions on a case-by-case basis.
Please get in touch with us if you want more information.
