The assessment process for equipment and adaptations in Havering starts with contacting Adult Social Care to initiate an assessment by an Occupational Therapist (OT). Here's a breakdown of the steps involved and their durations:
| Step | Description | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | OT Assessment | Variable, based on individual circumstances |
| Step 2 | Panel Approval of OT recommendations | Notification provided in writing after assessment |
| Step 3 | Proceeding with DFG funding application | Application form provided once recommendations are agreed |
The time taken for each step can vary significantly. The initial OT assessment timeframe isn't specified, so it can depend on factors such as the OT's schedule. After the assessment, you will be notified of the panel’s decision in writing. For further details or to begin the process, you can check Havering’s Adult Social Care page.
