Nadia is a disabled person who says, “I worry about the future as I have been told that my funding may no longer be enough for me to have the right amount of support to enable me to live my life. This will leave a huge impact on my life, as I live independently with full-time support from my personal assistants. I have worked so hard to employ a fantastic team of qualified and skilled PAs. This has taken a lot of time and consideration to build bonds and trust with strangers, but now I have fantastic people who support me on a daily basis. Now, the council is talking about having agency staff coming in four times a day to put me on the toilet. It does not make sense and is confusing. I have believed in rights and being in control, but I now feel out of control.”
