family fund question has anyone claimed

[uddy]

hi i just wondered if anyone who has put a claim in 2 the family fund for the first time could give me an idea of what i am likely 2 get first time round.my 4 kids are desperate for a holiday abroad as theyve never had one but i cant book one unless im likely 2 get enough towards it i just wondered if anyone has any ideas how its worked out so i can see if its worth doing it this year or next thanks all.

i've applied in the past for holidays but was put off by the fact you have to use haven we've got a tourer and those sites aren't suitable for my son so we just didn't apply again.

you could take the cash option and book somewhere suitable for the tourer?

My friend who goes to haven books it through Thomas cook so mist be how she gets £600.

thank you glittery did not know that , though ds is due a review in july so wondering if cant apply for till then

ds angel we got a midweek break for 5 of us for 220

I have applied twice. The first time for bunk beds and fencing (at old house) and they gave me some towards a holiday too.

The second time they gave me a huge amount for securing garden, and making it safe and usable. I cried.

ah sorry phoenix according to the motability website....

Driving Lessons: if aged between 16 and 24, and in receipt of the Higher Rate Mobility Component, you may be eligible for help towards the cost of driving lessons.

altho im pretty sure ive heard a few older people say that they've had driving lessons for their childs car?
might be worth a phone call to customer services 0845 456 4566

thanks everyone for your input ive been looking at centre parks myself but yeah on the site it just says thomas cook or haven so will have 2 have a look at thomas cook site see if they do centre parks either that or haven anyone recomend a haven site we went prestatyn and calagran but pool 2small at calagran

You dont have to take Haven or Thomas Cook vouchers, you can apply for a cash grant instead

This is from the family fund website....

"If neither of these two options are suitable for your family or you have already arranged your holiday will need to send us details about the holiday you are planning and where possible, a copy of your holiday booking confirmation when you apply. The grant value you receive for a self-planned holiday grant is smaller than the holiday park and travel agent grants."

If you earn too much you can still register with familyfund extra, they offer discounts for HAVEN & other places.

hi if ur applyin for the first time for holiday vouchers do u show benefit letters or bank statements i have twins both get dla one i claim carers for ive never heard of this is it just help with a holiday
