Have you tried the covid mutual aid groups on facebook - there will hopefully be one in your area, full of volunteers to help with shopping, etc.

Hi,

i found this earlier today.

It goes into more detail about the categories and how the letter process works.

Elsewhere, this link explains that the letters are being sent over several days, and may not arrive until the 29th March

Hi there, I think I read somewhere that if you don't get a letter but feel you are/should be in the very vulnerable group, get in touch with your GP. x

Hi there, thank you! That pulsetoday one is VERY interesting and states that 'some' diabetics may well come into the very vulnerable group if their hb1ac is over 75 for example, or they are not managed well. I can see why GPs are all over the place & under pressure.

This is very sad... We are all important. You are here and reaching out... we can all listen, that can sometimes be enough.
We all need to ask for help when we need it... and not be too proud or stubborn to ask or accept it.
