hi all i posted on here on saturday regarding not getting help with childcare cost even though they class careas allowance as income and have dropped our tax credit.
is anyone else in this situation?
iv rang social services who passed me on to the county council who passed me on to welfar rights who said its a rare case and they have said to get in touch with my local mp whom is looking into the situaution for us.
we cannot be the only parents who has twins with onne thats disabled and has to put the other in childcare????

Ask for a section 17 assessment wth social services to pay for the childcare via direct payments - do it in writing and copy it to head of children's services + your MP. They are fobbing you off! You need to write to the child disability team at Social Services and cc the other bods. Keep a copy of the letter for your own records. They legally cannot refuse a written request to at least assess your request.

Sadly disability in multiple births is fairly high statistically - it's why IVF docs don't like inserting multiple embryos in the UK. Your situation is NOT a "rare" case - it's a very common one. SS know this.
