just wondering if anyone has been able to get the family fund to be a bit quicker. dd1 is 3 in less than 2 weeks, i should finally be hearing back to see whether she's been accepted to go to our local special needs school. the problem we have is that even if she does get accepted (she should be accepted we've been told) we don't have transport as we can't drive and at the moment there's no help available. we've just been awarded the higher rate mobility part of the dla but we're waiting to hear back about the driving lessons from the family fund. it says it's going to take 12-15 weeks. this is too long for us and i am going to struggle getting there even in a taxi, dd1 doesn't walk and have 10 month old dd2 with me. also it's going to cost about £15 each way, taxis around here are usually cars not cabs. i don't know what to do. we're getting no where with social services as the woman who deals with us never gets around to doing things. i'm so stressed out. the amount of things that are getting cut around here is unbelievable, they used to provide transport but they've now stopped it for the nursery.
