Hi Pals, I had a visit yesterday from my ALS rep. She advised me of a program in Ontario called Direct Funding Self Management Attendant Services. This is a program where the government opens a bank account in your name and deposits money in the account every month enabling you to hire and pay your care givers. This sounds like a good program, I was wondering if other ALS groups offer something similar, if not may be they should. This is not a loan or any thing like that. But is taxable income but you can write off all your expenses.
I was also told ALS will supply me with an electric wheelchair, an electric scooter or a lift or a lift chair. I have asked for a lift chair.. Again I was curious as to if your ALS offers all this.
