Yes I think so. The award is for 2 years so i'm not looking forward to having to reapply. But the money will really help me provide what she needs. I'd like to reduce my hours at work.

Sent forms on the 7th August, text confirming receipt on the 10th August, letter confirmation dated 17th August. Currently waiting to hear back on an outcome. I’m thinking next week or week after with an outcome.
