I have received the appeal bundle for DD1s dla appeal - we were turned down. On the consultant's report, he states she has speech and language delay, developmental delay and very easily becomes confused. I think in the back of my mind all these years i have thought it was just me being a bit PFBish, although i knew she did struggle with a lot of things others found easy. But to see her consultant actually write it down, i am just feeling a little emotional. I had been toying with the idea of getting access to her medical records, so i can see exactly how/what they are recommending, as usually i cant get a straight answer from her otherwise lovely consultant! I think i will go for it now.
I cant believe she is 12, and this is the first definitive dx we have for her, apart from a rather 'wooly' sensory processing disorder a few years back. I feel really bad that i havent pushed as hard as i am now for help for her, as i had my own health issues to contend with, and a very abusive ex.
Some interesting comments from the ATOS medical however, but thats another story lol!
