Hi Everyone
I have come over from the States to help an old buddy. His wife could not cope any longer and left him. I used this forum when I came over a few years back to help him and found it very helpful, he had to have a medical he could only walk a few steps on crutches due to neuropathy of the feet and legs and had problems with his ticker (a struggle to breath) it was necessary for the doctor from the pension department to visit. She was very caring and helpful. And all turned out well. A few weeks back he got a call telling him he would be sent a form to complete in about two weeks this has not arrived. Since I last saw him he has deteriorated lost all feeling on the left side of his body, falls about even on crutches, and had some sort of virus that damaged his nervous system so he is incontinent it also attacked his kidneys as when I change his pants the urine is full of blood. I have spoken a doctor back home and tried to talk to his who was not forthcoming. I have researched the net and can find very little about the time for the form to arrive only that it has to be returned in four weeks and I can not find out about house calls, and all revolves around a company named ACTOS who seeem not to be helpful and have a bad reputation for people with disabilities. Can any of you good folk out there shed any light on the form and house calls.
Thanks

They will tell your that your GP will need to fax them to confirm you need a home visit. Well then it is a case of asking said GP, if they will do that for you.
