Dignitas funding

[Sweetfa]

I wanted to share that Dignitas do have a hardship fund for those who otherwise couldn't afford it. Please note that just as its a arduous process to be accepted for assisted suicide with them, and having to provide a lot of evidence and speak with their doctors face to face in Switzerland to get the green light to go ahead, which can take months, evidence of financial hardship and income and expenditure sheets are also required to get the fee reduction.

I had my letter today telling me that my fees have been reduced to 500 CHF which converts to around £423 GBP. This includes all costs including the induction cost, membership fees, preparation costs (including seeing their doctors and counsellors, getting the prescription, admin and staff costs, accommodation etc) and cremation and funeral costs.

Note that any fee reduction would be adjusted according to your own financial circumstances so the price I'm paying will be different to what they might require from you.

This is a massive difference to the on average £7000-£10000 cost of assisted suicide with Dignitas and makes it far more within my reach.

I had everything I needed because the court ordered it through the care proceedings, medical reports, psychological assessments etc.. So I just forwarded all that

No help with flights or additional nights accommodation if I want to make a holiday of it first but they have their own accommodation for the assisted suicide itself

Update: my next step is that they require a full evaluation and report from an independent psychiatrist who has never met me before and isn't treating me.

I've enquired and booked, costs £525 for an hour and a half evaluation with senior psychiatrist, and due to ethical reasons it requires the senior position. Then the report will be between £80-200 depending on how long it takes to write.

Any left over time from the evaluation will go toward the cost of the report.

I managed to discount my evaluation to £525 and the secretary suggested that when I call to order the report to ask for a discount with that too.

Heya, how did you get on with the assessment? I am thinking of going down the Dignitas route but I'm worried I won't get accepted. The fee reductions would make it more possible though so I'll look into it
