cheap sensory toys


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

I remember years ago the DWP did something similar to delay payment to many families and make their budget appear to spread further and wondered if this was the same....... maybe even the same managers making the rules?

Yes this has happened to me with my current application. Today I will be sending it for the 4th time, by registered mail (again) and with even more documents requested by them. I am trying to keep my cool, and hoping this will be accepted. This certainly is delaying tactics; if they have no more money in the pot, why not say so and put a hold an new applications for now?

Hi, have just joined the forum and on reading through the topic i can also say that when i applied in august 2010 for ff grants, it took them till november and four returns of my application for them to turn us down with no explanation given as to why, I had given them everything they asked for and still they wanted to see wage slips (again) - which were already supplied and stapled to the back of the form along with everything else requested! needless to say when we got the refusal of the grant my immediate thoughts were ..was it worth it for all the hastle of applying and numerous requests for the already submitted information?...[/b]
