apparantly as he can't leave the house or car and needs it for social, emotional, behavioural, educational and communication it wasn't classed as a priority.
They were oversubscribed with applications so had to prioritise.
This was my last email..........
I just feel the need for this has been underestimated. I have a child who cannot leave the house or car. He has severe learning
disabilities as well as down syndrome and an ongoing assessment for autistic spectrum disorder and pathological demand avoidance syndrome.
As he is prisoner in his own life, this could of helped him emotionally, socially, educationally and aid his communication. Maybe if he
could go outside the trike he was assessed for over 5 year ago may have been seen as a priority as it's more specialised. I also feel
unfairness in being able to reapply in 12 months, due to the lifestyle I have due to my sons needs I am unable to access the outdoors much
also. The professionals wrote their letters in January and it took me months before I was able to get out for a quote! The same will
happen in 12 months and again he may not be successful. Maybe unsuccessful applications should be queued. The application was physically
and mentally draining without having to go through it all again. Thanks anyway.
of course it was done in a haste and doesn't list all his conditions etc or how we can also use it effectively in medical circumstances as well as the others.
I'm a tad gutted whereas he is oblivious!!
