Acquired Brain Injury

With regard to an Acquired Brain Injury, SEAP can tell you about your rights to services, to help you stay independent.

We can:

• Give you information about services and specialist support
• Advise you about your rights to social care services
• Offer support if you are not getting the services you need
• Advise about benefits

We can also advise about registering as disabled and can get basic information on the legal framework for community care on request if you would like to know what the law says about your rights to care services.

If you have difficulty in getting the care services you need from your Council, we can help you put your views across – by giving you advice, writing letters or making phone calls on your behalf. In some cases, we can attend meetings with you, or we can tell you about local advice or advocacy services.

We offer information and advice to the families, friends, carers and representatives of adult survivors of an acquired brain injury.
