AnneLong descriptionAnne has arthritis and depression. She is a retired social worker who retired early on health grounds. Her assessment was carried out by an occupational therapist. As her arthritis is likely to get worse, she may require more support in the future. She expresses anxiety about whether sensitive account will then be taken of the fact that she is a lesbian.
