Think of stroke, Parkinson's, arthritis, MS or a spinal injury: each can reduce movement or strength, and physical disability care is designed around needs like these. Safe moving and handling, often with a hoist, sits alongside personal care and help to remain independent and active.

Attendance Allowance does not depend on savings or income. Contacting Lincolnshire council.
