I brought my daughter to the GP today because she's been having some vision issues and just wanted to rule out any neurological issues. During the appointment she got my daughter to read the chart from the back of the door while sitting on the other side of the room. She said that this was a reading test for reading glasses. I questioned it and said you mean a distance test and she said no it's to test if you need glasses for reading. I wear glasses myself for distance but not reading and took them off and couldn't read it at all so I questioned it again and she was adamant it was for "up close reading glasses". Am I having a total brain meltdown or is she wrong?

Hi, just wondering if anyone has been through this process and can tell me what usually happens next.

We got a call from a housing officer to say we were being considered for the allocation of a council house. The housing officer then came out to our current home, and we had to submit all of our income details and supporting documents for assessment.

Does getting to the home visit/income assessment stage generally mean you have a good chance of being offered the house, or are there usually still several households being considered at this point?

Would love to hear from anyone who has been through a similar process and what the outcome was.
