QUESTION 1 PRINCIPLES OF ADVOCACY FOR DISABILITY 30
MARKS Jane has an intellectual disability and a mental health
diagnosis. She was living in unsuitable accommodation and was
worried she might become homeless. One of her parents had
died some time ago and there was a breakdown in her
relationship with her family. She was unaware of her welfare
entitlements and was not linked with any support services. Her
parents’ outstanding bills had been transferred to Jane and left
her in debt. Jane also believed that her family violated her
rights and entitlements regarding her parent’s estate. Jane told
her advocate that her family had attempted to exclude her from
her parent’s estate. She needed help to access not only social
welfare, but also housing, legal, disability, and social support.
Although Jane preferred to stay on in her parent’s house, it was
unsuitable to her needs and deemed unsafe. EDS ASSIGNMEN
NO.2 7 Jane found accommodation in another area but wanted
to return to the area she had known all her life. The advocate
worked with Jane to agree on an advocacy plan for her
accommodation needs. Her advocate supported Jane with
where she wanted to live and offered her information about her
financial and inheritance rights, including clarification of who
,was responsible for paying her parents’ debts. The advocate
helped Jane to gather all the outstanding accounts and
communicate with service providers. Jane discovered that most
of the debts were outstanding before she had agreed to
transfer the accounts to her name. Her advocate helped her to
obtain records that show she had already moved out when
some of the debt had accumulated. The advocate applied on
her behalf for a transfer to new accommodation and to have
the outstanding debts cancelled. Money she had paid to clear
the debts was refunded. Her advocate also helped Jane to get
free legal aid and draft a letter requesting information about
her inheritance and address it to her parent’s solicitor. Thanks
to these actions, Jane’s rights to an equal share in her parent’s
estate were restored. Her advocate also helped Jane to get a
disability allowance, social welfare support, and a medical card.
She also linked Jane with a social worker and a day service. The
social worker now teaches her independent living skills. 1.1.
