To close off another week, we are delighted to share a fantastic good news story!
Whilst checking the details of a new referral, we found that on her Personal Independence Payment record, they had her down as living in residential care when she wasn鈥檛. (1/3)
So, our team sprang in action to have this corrected. This resulted in the person receiving a 拢31,000 back payment!
We are so pleased with this outcome and the lifechanging impact this will have on the person supported. 馃憦 (2/3)
This just one of many examples of the impact our support can have on people with a learning disability achieving more financial independence.

ALT One of our Dosh advocates had a Money Plan review this week for someone he supports. Previously, the person supported used to be extremely anxious and money was a huge trigger for him. Dosh has supported him to manage his benefits and gave him a budget for spending and in the space of a year, he is a different man! Much of his anxiety has disappeared and he has even started putting aside 拢10 or 拢20 from his weekly money to save up for things he鈥檇 like to buy.
We are delighted to share that Meike has become our full time Managing Director! 馃帀
We are so pleased to have you on board Meike and look forward for all that you have planned for Dosh 鉂わ笍
ALT Photograph of Meike and a quote stating: "I've had a wonderful welcome since rejoining the Dosh team last summer and am thrilled to be able to continue my work with them. I have already been getting stuck into developing our strategy for the next 3 years, which I look forward to now implementing with the excellent Dosh team for the benefit of the people we support across the UK."
At Dosh, we are passionate about supporting staff wellbeing so today we are encouraging all our staff to get involved with World Wild Life Day! If you can, take a forest walk and see what you can spot 馃憖

Today, we're sharing a good news story from our advocate in Scotland!
They were successful in applying for Adult Disability Payment, the Scottish equivalent of Personal Independence Payment, for someone she supports. This resulted in a backdated payment of 拢5000 for them! (1/4)
Before, he only had a budget of 拢50 per week, but now he will be able to increase this. This means he will be able to pay off his debts and as there is more income to come, he will also be able to apply for higher rate on Employment Support Allowance. (3/4)
What a positive impact for this person! We are so proud of the life changing work our advocates do 鉂わ笍
