That's great Sparkly, do you have to take DD and DS on the holiday too?

last year they only gave us £350 for a holiday, but they phoned me on monday and said that they had DS's application with hols and clothing on it but DD1s one had nothing on it, so she said would I like them to put hols and clothing for her too. I said yes, and that must be the amount they send for two disabled kids..

How does the holiday thing work? Can you go anywhere as long as you keep the receipts? I'm thinking of asking for a holiday when I re-apply in November.

Yes they just give you the cash and then you choose
