That’s my daughter 13 nearly 14 right now fast asleep. Just had meeting with school on teams. After 3 years of no school they finally trying to help me get her back to school, which she won’t. have to put in another claim as they didn’t recieve my form apparently so
lost 8 weeks of a claim.
my school suggested one hour on a Monday and Friday of a teacher she likes. That’s it she couldn’t do that this week and wouldn’t. Now it just get her into the school to pick up some forms for s19 and home learning sometime next week.
honestly the battle with these children are real, she suspected adhd/asd it’s at panel, but my daughter won’t sign the doctors consent form for me to access these records so she could of been diagnosed now and I won’t be able to find out as she 13 and turned it all into a a game. So frustrating xx

It’s a real shame. My 14 year old daughter is exactly the same. Our GP is aware and has made a referral to a talking service. The difference between our 2 is that she asked me for help I guess she reached that point.

Hi 👋, sd 24/07 nc. My head randomly said I need to ring them today. So just plucked up the courage. I was told a decision was made yesterday. I asked to be put through to someone who could tell me what the decision would be. She's been awarded hrc and lrm. I started crying as soon as I put the phone down. My back payment should come on Tuesday and I can pay for all the bits she needs for the new year to help her. Fingers crossed they finish all the July scan dates this week. Good luck everyone 🤞

Aww Congratulations! 🎉
