could someone tell me is TAC deliberately winding down patients' benefits or am I and my co hydropool people just the short end of the wedge. Also does anyone have an example of where TAC actually offered something beneficial to long term patients to enhance their quality of life. I am getting only negative feedback. Same thing from professional counsellors and disability support groups. Even the Ombudsmans ofice has a pile of complaints. If TAC withdraws a vital treatment say physio and taxis to and from and ou are destitute. How do you or who can you see to get help. I am aware of a lady who won her needs at the AAT only to have TAC cancel them within 1 year after her husband left her and she was in very poor financial circumstances. She had no idea what to do. Just take antidepressants and lie down in bed all day. Is there a self help group anywhere or a group of solicitors who help TAC patients at the AAT thanks Richard
