ASKSiD is designed to provide information and guidance related to stroke recovery and caregiving. While it can share general information about financial support options like disability living allowance, it doesn’t have the ability to assist directly with completing applications or providing personalised financial advice. For detailed guidance, you may want to consult with financial support services in your area.

While it currently offers general guidance and resources on stroke recovery and caregiving, we are working to expand its capabilities to include location-specific information. This will allow ASKSiD to help users connect with local support services and resources in their area. Stay tuned as we continue to enhance ASKSiD to better meet your needs!

If you still don’t get the information you need, we recommend consulting other sources, such as contacting your healthcare professionals for further guidance.
