An ACAT Assessor will visit you in your home and run through a range of questions to help them understand your current situation. It’s a great idea to be prepared for these questions – write down a list of all the things that you are struggling with and finding difficult. Don’t try and put on your “best face”, talk honestly about your needs so that you can get the help you deserve. Additionally, if you receive informal support, for example, from family members, write down what you wouldn’t be able to do if they weren’t there to help you.
