Arrr bloody cars

[mumof8kids]

Can't believe it now definately dying. I posted some time ago that tried to get a newish car but can't get finance cause i dont own a drivers license (am albino and partly sighted so never will either) even though i got cleared for finance initally was sooo peed off. Now am really stuck as the one we bought for my mum to drive us is on last legs. Ds hates strange cars wont even go in my brother car with me without being destressed and the bus is a nightmare as usually noisey and crowded/ What o I do now he gets high rate DLA for care can't get mobility until hes 5 which is august

sorry just needed to moan having a bad week lack of sleeop and apealing statement just so fed up

thought you couldnt get motability until age 5, maybe I am wrong as new to all this. hate asking for money feel so guilty ect. lack of sleepis definately shit doesn't help when have done a late shift at work either

I think its HR at 3, LR from 5. Very ahrd to get it for ASD (not sure of dx mum of 8 but a few simialr things in your OP amde me think maybe) at allthough, and certainly hard to get HR or early on. Possible though,and I would advise getting NAS onside to helpfill in forms for you- also givemesleep on here gives good advice on it.

For HR mobility for no physical issues, a child needs to have incomplete/ arrested development of the brain (autism is automatically classed as this) as well as severe impairment of intelligence and social functioning (easy to prove if low IQ but if IQ is not low, you have to prove lack of 'real world/ real life' intelligence i.e. no sense of danger) as well as reckless and dangerous behaviour that would require restraint as well as entitlement to HRcare DLA.

We had evidence for all of it except the intelligence bit so consultant had to write to Tribunal to explain that he didn't have functional intelligence as he had no sense of danger or how the world worked, only abstract academic intelligence. Still took a Tribual and about 18 months to sort but it was possible as we had all the evidence and the consultant was backing the claim.

Good luck - any questions, just ask.

functional Intellifence.

i'vespent years trying to find the phrase to fit Harry (bright at maths /can read, no bloody idea about RL at all to the point he genuinely believes he made the world and owns it all so is totallys afe and controls allc ars /people)

Perfect, I shall run that by the PAed in the Spring (or the Psych who might be assessing him for ADHD)
