Honestly? I was annoyed, frustrated and decided that if they wanted to f*ck around they could find out, and was a vindictive cowbag towards them I'm not going to lie. They've avoided giving us the rates he needs for years because he's either not old enough, not impaired enough or just plain old wanna be arses.

Oh I feel u 💯 well at the end of the day your going to be frustrated fighting for Your child runs a different kinda sensation thru the body! U shouldn’t feel the need to beg yet that’s what I feel we’re having to do 😓 it’s exhausting! Need a chat private message mee 🙂 there’s not many people who understand our situation x

Decision maker called me Thursday said she would probably sort it out that day, I'm assuming since I've not had anything it was refused. My blood is boiling as I've just had to ask him when the last time he drank any liquid was. I think it might just be a teen adhd mum thing

Alot of it goes on verbiage and language used in the application and the reports, so we had it as DS is severely arrested development with slow, limited progress which is looking very likely to never improve, he will always be atleast 5/6 years behind, we backed this up with several Echps with the outcomes being almost the same each year, 3 pead reports saying similar - behaviour has worsened, cognitive state is still severely delayed, hospital records from physio for dyspraxia and hypermobility, speech reports for echolila, we just hit them with all the paperwork and wrote about how it showed several aspects of temperament, impairment and his supervison needs
