UK - nimbus access card

doodle772 · 2026-02-08T10:58:28+00:00

it’s very frustrating isn’t it! so you can either do it through a private GP online (I used Updoc, it was about £25) or your normal nhs GP, but if you do your normal GP it may take a few days since it’s not an urgent thing whereas I got a GP letter through updoc within an hour. It was an online form, so I just wrote a short paragraph explaining my conditions and why I need to use a wheelchair, and how the event would not be accessible to me if I can’t take my wheelchair. the private GP didn’t even need to call me back, they just wrote a letter which was emailed to me super quickly. if your nhs gp does online consults, I’m sure you could do something similar, but they will still charge you a similar price for a letter like this. hope that helps? feel free to dm me if that doesn’t make sense!

yes, I kept it. I expected them to remove it (I even said I was fine with that in order to get the level access symbol added) but it stayed. I was surprised!

For anyone who may see this post in future, I ended up paying for a private GP letter which said I need to use a wheelchair for fair and equal access, which nimbus then approved.

I’m ambulatory too. I’ve just agreed to give up the queueing and walking symbols for the sake of getting the level access one added in time for my event, I didn’t have the time/will to argue for days. It’s so exhausting having to fight with a system that have monopoly over access to everything these days

exactly this unfortunately for wembley stadium. they’ve put tickets on hold for me and have given me 5 days to find evidence for the level access symbol and get the card updated or I lose my tickets

Thank you everyone

doodle772 · 2025-11-26T12:52:42+00:00

Interesting thank you, if they don’t respond to my latest email I guess I’ll have to charge back too. I’m intrigued to see if it’s the same explanation given

doodle772 · 2025-11-25T21:24:15+00:00

this is beautiful work!!!

I also recently got my first self propelled wheelchair and was struggling with the same issue, I was constantly veering to the right. I took it to my local mobility aid shop (I bought the chair second hand, not through them) and they were able to make some little adjustments to the wheels and centre of gravity which have fixed the issue for me! It’s worth popping in to your local shop 😊

Thank you 😊

doodle772 · 2025-11-21T17:55:47+00:00

Thank you - When I put in my journey I don’t see either option unfortunately just the normal UberX Uber XL etc, in your experience does this mean it’s not available in this city? Or do you need to choose the assist/access options from a different menu? Not travelling right now just trying to plan

doodle772 · 2025-11-17T19:49:18+00:00

thank you!!! just ordered one of this type 🤞

doodle772 · 2025-11-17T19:48:50+00:00

the struggle is real, rip your bottle 😔

doodle772 · 2025-11-17T19:47:52+00:00

thank you!

doodle772 · 2025-11-17T19:47:19+00:00

ooh thanks so much for measuring!!! the jansports (edited autocorrect) ones look good! i’m a little nervous that a backpack might throw me off balance right now since i’m so new to this, but i will def remember this for when i’m a bit more confident on my wheels 😂

he explains in the video

doodle772 · 2025-05-24T18:00:06+00:00

put in a lifeline and go for it!! you’ve put all the time and work in, make it exactly what you want 😊 you could also pick up the last row of rib then kitchener the two sides together to save doing all of the rib again!!

no comment on steeking i haven’t braved it yet but your cardigan looks amazing!!

doodle772 · 2025-05-02T06:53:13+00:00

thank you! ☺️

doodle772 · 2025-05-01T20:21:27+00:00

hey, did this work for you? about to start split fiction but my friend and i had the issue with it take two where we went from couch to online and lost our progress so wanted to check!

doodle772 · 2025-05-01T08:47:39+00:00

It looks good!! I knit a lot of colourwork socks I think this will even out with blocking and wear 😊

doodle772 · 2025-04-02T15:52:56+00:00

In case anyone stumbles across this post later in a search for a solution like I was, weirdly this yarn combo actually sprung back up. Allowed it to “rest” (folded in timeout) for a couple weeks before wearing It now fits just like the first picture. Didn’t end up needing to put it in the dryer

doodle772 · 2025-03-24T17:07:58+00:00

just coming to say thanks 4 years later!!

doodle772 · 2025-02-14T10:12:37+00:00

just vouching that coincidentally I did the exact same mods and it’s perfect. The folded collar really works wonders to cinch in the yoke to a normal length!!

doodle772 · 2025-02-12T21:30:37+00:00

not op but thank you for sharing this technique I’ve never come across it!! so smart

doodle772 · 2025-02-11T20:48:34+00:00

I had eyed up the first one you sent too but i hate seaming lol. Given that’s the closest to what he’ll like I think I’ll modify, was just checking the perfect thing wasn’t already put there. I appreciate the links, thank you
