@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal I was charged VFS visa facilitation fees twice. I have tried filling out several forms to get reimbursement, but all the forms have bugs and no submit button. Reimbursement is possible only for one month. Global care support is inadequate!!

Welcome to IGI Airport Delhi where you’ll never get your wheelchair at the aircraft gate. One assistant pushes two wheelchairs most unsafe, extra time to exit more than an hour. Taxis that cannot accommodate wheelchairs!! @DGCAIndia @Gen_VKSingh

Faced same in 2011. Sad nothing has changed. Many others have faced the same problem. Violation of Art 18 of CRPD. Caretaker is not domestic help! https://t.co/LXCC0FMSnW Request consideration. @Lindy_Cameron @DrSJaishankar @MEABharat @David_Cameron @RishiSunak @IDA_CRPD_Forum

Respected @GOVUK, Why do people with disabilities have to pay 6X more to travel with their caretaker to the UK? Why do you discriminate? We deserve to have fun/ travel like any other tourist, and expect equal treatment for our caretakers on whom we depend.
