Advice for a newbie...!!

[lourobert]

Im not after advice for myself but a friend of a friend who has recently found themselves in the SN world after his daughter has had a mutlitude of problems which is cuase her to be severely delayed.

I dont who this couple but have offered my number as I know what a lonely time it can all be plus i wanted to make sure that they were getting everything they were entitled to.

I was trying to think back. Obviously I will speak to them about DLA and getting a referral in for portage ASAP but is there anything else Ive forgotten???
