There was no application by 29 April but it is now being said there are some applications in. However, I do not know whether the applicants are suitable or whether there will be progress. I am concerned about the number who have appealed a decision and see no end in sight in having their appeals heard. As was asked, do they even know what is happening? There is a considerable lack of information regarding entitlements and supports available to disabled people in general, especially concerning transport options. It needs to be addressed immediately if we are to implement the UNCRPD.
