2 Evidence of ABI
When we receive your form, we consult your medical records to obtain further information about the nature of your brain injury.
3 Initial Assessment
When we have established the evidence of ABI from your medical history or other sources, we invite you and a family member, carer, partner or other person who knows you well for an initial appointment with us. This is your chance to say what type of help you are looking for and our chance to meet you and establish how best we will be able to help you.
