Hiya!
I’m Ellie and this channel follows me on my journey through life, navigating chronic illness and disability in a world that wasn’t designed for us. Today I Had the guys from Lifestyle&Mobility come over to fit me for a wheelchair and come up with a quote for me to take forward to apply for funding. I also got a ridiculous letter saying I couldnt get funding but a mistake had been made so I am now working to get that rectified.

I don't have any advice sadly. My Neurologist wrote a Rx for a power wheelchair for me and my federal (in Canada) insurance denied it because I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user (I have hEDS and MS that's mostly attacked my cerebellum). They said when I can't walk at all anymore they'll approve a chair for me, despite the fact that the chair is to help me keep walking for as long as possible. 🤦🙄 So commiseration at least. I have been there. Hopefully the GP will write a new referral that isn't slap dash and you get your chair. (I did finally get mine. My cousin's church group bought me a chair as their "one big good deed for Christmas") I really hope you get yours because they really are game changers. The freedom and autonomy they given you back are absolutely A+. I hope the second referral goes better. 😊🤞

Wait? Does that means you don't use a wheelchair anymore?

Hoping there's and appeal process. I've had to do many appeals for my healthcare, and most have been successful.
