The Occupational Therapist refers you to financial care. If you have not had a referral from an OT, you would be signposted back to Social care. Once the Occupational Therapist has passed the referral back to financial care, this will be passed to a Housing Officer. They will attend with a surveyor to assess whether you are better suited to move or have your home adapted.
