Announcement

Families who have children and young people with special needs very often deal with similar life styles. We have all had concerns ranging from education,acess to services,respite and other issues directly related to their childrens needs. Parents of disabled children bring families together for friendship, to share information and to support one another.

The forum was created by parents who have children with special needs and is run by parents so we are all in this together. With us you will realise you are not alone

Parents of disabled children launched in October 2009 and we are growing day by day and are fastly becoming a major support resource for all

Hi, if you go to http://www.familyfund.org.uk and click on grants there's a link to see if you might be eligible, depending on your income, I hope this helps. Smile

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
In terms of applying the criteria in terms of the dla would say yes as such.
Is your total household income below 25 thousand pounds (Not including DLA and child benefit)
But you do need to include any possible housing benefit or council tax benefits etc.
