Hey i have a query about the Care Pack Approach (CPA) in relation to those who suffer severe anxiety problems.
I suffer from severe chronic anxiety, agoraphobia and panic attack and find it hard to leave the house unaccompanied, i was awarded lower rate mobility disability living allowance for this.
However since this things have got worse i have had 3 recent suicide attempts requiring hospitalisation and also been diagnosed with a personality disorder, and recently awarded middle rate care of disability living allowance on the grounds of continual supervision...
I am a service user of the community mental health team and was advised by my GP that i would be put onto an enchanced CPA, but i was incorrectly told that its only for physically disabled, where in fact its for those with mental health problems who need health and social needs.
I think the care co-ordinator got mixed up with the community care assessment, although becaused im disabled im still required an assessment under section 47(2) of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, this has also been failed, what do i do, i was let down by a CMHT before and disengaged with treatement resulting in my condition worsening and i am considering the same now.
It never ceases to amaze me how some people still are quite prejudice of the mental health system and in fact the Enchanced CPA could help me, thats why its there for after all.
Please help.
