Wow many awards today. Such great news. Congratulations everyone ❤️❤️

Fee89 · 15/04/2024 17:27

@Tasha0429 Is the hot dogs a snack or is that all he will eat for dinner? Id fill the kitchen with air fresheners 😂 . Anything is better than being up at 1am. Its been good seeing so many awards from dec today. Gives hope that they are actually catching up xx

Tasha0429 · 15/04/2024 17:36

@Fee89 yep 🙈😂 every single day is the same, he often will eat sausages to 😂🙈 honestly I'm thankful it's not cheese, we went a full year eating cheese and cheese alone 🤢 he will eat other bits, but they are literally! I'll be up no doubt regardless 😂 I just pick my battles I can't have another 💩 explosion tonight😂 YESSSS it really is, nice to see people are being awarded to and not declines 🥰🥳 I'm praying we have the same luck xxx

Fee89 · 15/04/2024 17:45

@Tasha0429 Ah cheese is classed as 'free' food for Freya so we always have to have different cheese in and the other 2 love cheese. I can imagine after a while it not that enjoyable. Getting up is fine if you have had some sleep and its now a full spring clean. And you cant even be mad which frustrates you even more 😂. Im hoping everyone here hears soon but i just have a feeling il be here at thread 50 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

Hello all, I’m wondering if someone could advice me please. So, my scan date is 19/12 and the application is on hold whilst they await information from my daughter’s school. They sent a form on the 9th and school received it today. The teacher emailed me to say that the form is specifically asking for details about my daughter’s “severe disability and mobility”. I’m worried as her mobility is fine and I wrote in the application how her issues are mostly emotional, sensory, eating, mental health etc.

I haven’t seen the form - is this a generic comment? She masks so well at school so I know it’ll be declined anyway, but I’m confused as to why they’ve asked the school to comment on a severe disability and mobility?

Shabutie · 15/04/2024 18:13

I have a hot dog lover too!! One of about 7 foods she eats. I don't know how she eats the same everyday. I just swap the order about to make it feel 'different' 🤣

Tasha0429 · 15/04/2024 18:20

Am glad it’s sorted for you now xx and with carers allowance theres no point to apply for it since they’ll deduct £1 for £1 from your uc payments. Iam not gonna apply for it xx

Isn’t it worth applying because of the carers credit (NI contributions) or do mums get those either way?

Tasha0429 · 15/04/2024 19:01

Definitely worth having for NI CREDITS, @Chickapea77 mums don't just get them as far as I'm aware 😂

Think you get full contribution for your first child until they are 12, but yeah I would personally claim CA for the class 1 contributions. Also heard of people claiming that as its weekly payment not monthly.
