This section has a collection of resources for patients with disabilities in the UK. It is essential to understand your rights and entitlements as a protected group member. These websites will help you to navigate your way through life by providing you with information on living independently and entering the workforce. Understanding policy and its impact on your personal circumstances can be complicated.
