Financial Support Available to Patients

Some patients will qualify for financial support. 

We have collated a list of sites which might be useful.  Most links lead to a gov.uk website about the financial schemes available.

Patients who need to provide documents as proof of deafness, in order to apply for any of these schemes, can ask USAIS to provide this.  Please email these requests to ais@soton.ac.uk providing patient bar code, details of the information required and which scheme you are applying to.
