I did receive help under this scheme from my local council, but the process was not easy. I was only told I could apply by the diabetic nurse at a hospital appointment. After making the application and providing proof of my address and benefits that the council already holds on record I was given a £300 voucher which could be used in a variety of shops or online at supermarkets and other outlets for the purchase of goods for the home. This was a great help but should be made easier to apply, and more information about who can apply as the scheme had been running for some time before I found out about it.
