We sent a letter to the First Minister highlighting our case and received a reply. The response received stated that they cannot comment or intervene in individual cases.
We have written to the DWP requesting DLA. Eventually Mr Kopel won his appeal and was granted full DLA.
We have actively contacted and spoken to experts from the NHS and they have actively encouraged this campaign.
We have spoken to MSP Graham Dey. Mr Dey has been in contact and has said he would take up any complaint about the NHS the campaign had. He also sent out a complaint form. However, we feel that this can take place after we submit this appeal.
We have recently set up “The Frank Kopel Alzheimer's Awareness Campaign” on Facebook. This gives people the opportunity to show their support for the campaign and leave and highlight their own personal stories:
