At Anthony Collins Solicitors we act as professional deputies for a large number of clients. Each client has an allocated caseworker who ensures that their financial needs are being met.
One of our clients is a gentleman who is registered as blind and is dependent on his family to ensure that his welfare needs are being met. Mr X has a TV package with his provider and we made contact with them as it was believed that the client could change the package that he had and for a remote control to be provided which can be talked to in order to change channels etc.
The provider made the change to the client package and sent out a new remote control which was linked to his TV and this has now been set up so he can talk to the TV. He has a braille sticker on the remote to assist him with finding the correct button to press.
This has given our client a bit more independence and allows him to control his television despite being blind.
Whilst this may seem like a small task, it has ensured that we are doing the best that we can for our clients to improve their quality of life using their finances.
