Hi,

My friend requires a wet floor shower as assessed by OT and was looking for SSAFA funding to support this. Her ex husband served in the forces and he is now deceased, would she still be entitled to funding as she was married to him while he was serving?

Thanks

She would need to check her eligibility for financial help from SSAFA from SSAFA themselves.

My understanding is that SSAFA help serving and veteran personnel and thier families - if your friend is no longer married to a veteran, then I dont think she will be viewed as family.

There are other sources of financial support for disabled people, including local councils. The CAB should be able to signpost your friend to local and national disability organisation who provide financial support.
