Helpline
“Can I speak to another parent?”
“How can I explain to my insurance company?”
“What do I tell my family?”
“Where can I find out about benefits?”
Our Helpline exists to answer the questions which, sometimes, no one else is able to; from people diagnosed with ataxia, their relatives and friends, GPs and other medical professionals, social workers and carers.
We may be able to make contact with health, social and financial services on behalf of people with ataxia.
We can often put people in touch with others in a similar position.
Where there are organisations in a better position to advise or assist (eg Citizens Advice Bureau, Benefits Agency, particular Social Services departments), we direct you to them.
Our helpline, run by trained and compassionate professionals, operates 9am – 5pm every weekday.
Phone 0845 644 0606 or email support@ataxia.org.uk.
