well it arrived today and we got to go on 12th
which im dreading its quite a trek and 2 Children on a bus will be a nightmare, especially way jack acts Confused

what happens there?
jack doesnt let anyone near him, when he went for check up for perforated ear they couldnt get near him an worried just going to cause him alot of stress again and wasting time and money

we still dont know if hes healed the Drs just said leave it and hope

can you claim transport costs back at your hospital?? if so you might be better getting a taxi explaining that it is too stressful for you to use buses. or do you have dial a ride in your area?
not letting him near him when he has a perforated ear is quite normal really as it hurts and you dont want anyone near it so hopefully if they are good at their job they will manage to check him out as they should be used to special needs Children
good luck

thanks Corrine
i dont know about cost tbh i have never thought about claiming it back the last hosp visit was taking jack to a&e cost me £7 for 2hrs an 3mins parking
it doesnt say its at a hospital its down as audiology, passy place (think its just a clinic there)

i was thinking of maybe getting the train as hes mad about them since the driver waved at him on way to school, its just trying get big buggy on an off and managing the stairs
jack seems better on train aslong as its quiet

il give them ring ask about a cab dont hold much hope really

thank you

i not sure if you can join the dial a ride as you would need to have high rate mobility but here is the link for when they sort it http://www.greenwich.gov.uk/Greenwich/Tr...lARide.htm

http://www.greenwich.gov.uk/Greenwich/Tr...Scheme.htm gives information on claiming back travel costs, it might be they will say that a bus is cheaper but if they at least give you the bus fare off the train cost its still worth a shot

keep saying i am going to claim the parking fee's at our hospital but its only £2 for 4 hours compared to yours but its annoying when i only there for half an hour having a blood test (me not matt hehe)

Yes most hospital's have a refund policy for those on qualifyign benefits such as income support and allow people to reclaim parking,bus fairs,train fairs etc.
Some policies doe cover taxi usage and fair use so its worth checking with your local hospital.
