    Hello, I was given the number of my local Social Services by my hospital physio, I rang them, they came out and measured and then fitted two rails, one for each set of stairs. They also supplied a raised toilet seat. This was all free of charge. DD

    I don't know if different places have different policies but mine will do up to £1,000 without a problem. After that you help pay.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
