Living with disabilities and long term conditions

Living with disabilities and long term conditions

Anyone may become disabled, suddenly through accident, gradually through illness, and some people are disabled from birth.

If you have a disability or long-term condition, there are many organisations who may be able to help you stay as independent as possible. Use this information to decide what support you need. It is important that you make choices that are right for you to live the life you want.
