Is it funded or not?
Do they need to be in FT education? Does it need to be non-advanced education?

Does it matter that she has had a brace which the orthodontist has decided has 'failed' and is being removed in January

We were told it was funded for treatments started before 18. Has to be for functional rather than cosmetic reasosn though. ds still not agreed yet and clock is ticking ...

It's so frustrating that it's coming off

Obtaining funding in the first place is hard enough

I do wish I knew what is going wrong

The choices website suggests that it's 18 too - but is that because they are in FT school?
