My DD is autistic and has other learning disabilities (she's also great but that's not as relevant here!) Her Dad has only contributed financially in an ad hoc way throughout her life and hasn't seen her since summer 2019. She volunteers in various charity shops and is well valued but her accompanying anxiety makes it difficult for her to get a paid job. We've been advised by a local solicitor that she could be eligible to a lump sum to be invested for her future from her Dad according to Schedule 1 of the Children Act and I am wondering if anyone else has gone through this process.
