Hi Everyone, I have joined the forum as my partner's little boy aged three and a half was diagnosed Autistic spectrum about 6 weeks ago now, although of course she's known it for a long time before this it was quite a releif to get the official diagnosis as we thought at long last some so much needed help should come our direction, both financial and practical day to day support n some respite..
Well some good interesting support groups have turned up and we have found some local play centers that allow him in free so this is all positive stuff, it seems there is quite a lot to take in
But
We are in the UK and having a horrid time trying to sort out the benefit forms the benefits agency are overflowing and not making furthur appointments we where told that they would phone back within 6 weeks to make an appointment to fill in disability living allowence form and the full time carer form but nothing she tried the carers asociation but they also are saying phone back in febuary ???
The form says on it that you will require help to fill it in
but how long we live on a tight budget and things are painful at the moment
We'd be very greatful if anyone could point us in the direction of assistance with the form filling my partner is dyslexic & adhd which doesnt help things any tbh
anyway Ive not really looked through the forum yet so no doubt will proberbly find something on this subject
kind regards
K
