Foot problems, money towards foot care?

Post by Hookway8 »

Afternoon I'm Leigh, worked for Royal Mail for 17 years, I've never got on with Royal Mail footwear & now I supply my own, after gaining a doctors note. I have suffered with painful ankles & feet which has got worse lately. Today I went to see a foot specialist, had a in depth look at my issues, & recommended, a arch insert to the amount of £240. Is there any help from Royal Mail for this? Help would be great advice etc. kind regards Leigh.

My partner received her orthotic inserts via the biomechanics dept at the local hospital. Got a referral from her doctor for an appointment. Went and did some tests, a week later hey presto free orthotic inserts care of the NHS.
