Suffolk County Council and another county have been part of a pilot scheme to get a laptop for children of parents on a low income. My ds is at school in Kent but it is funded by Suffolk. The form said applications had to be back by 31st July so when my Child Tax Credit award notice arrived today i finished the form off and rang them to check something and was told that the closing date had been brought forward a month and it closed yesterday. I am absoultely gutted and spent the early part of this afternoon on the phone to them in tears. They said they had informed schools and published it in the press, i wouldnt have heard from the school and i saw nothing in the press. I have rung my local County Councillor and am waiting to hear from another company involved with the council. This is so bloody unfair. They shouldnt change the date should they??
