Tjololo Report post Posted November 30, 2007 It's a disgrace that so many of us are pushed into writing letter after letter in order to get access to any kind of respite care. I wish you the very best of luck and fervently hope that you are given the help that you need. What annoys me is that so many dishonest people seem to get away with defrauding the system, yet genuine cases (such as ourselves) are left empty handed.

annie Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Hev and Mum It's good to hear you've got your strength back for another round Hev . I know it shouldn't be like that . You've all been let down left, right and centre for so long, I hope your MP gets things moving in the right direction. Annie xx <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lorryw Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Hi Hev, Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. My one piece of advice is to make a formal complaint. Its very easy, you should be able to download a form from your local authority website. If things still dont improve move on to stage 2 and 3. I know its a pain but it puts you in the driving seat and really makes them buck up their ideas. I cant believe how differently we are now treated, ss are literally falling over themselves to provide a proper service for my son. I only wish I had started sooner! take care Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As well as writing to the MP there is a Discrimination Board who will actively defend your situation. Just pick up th phone and call them, do you have Legal Advisory by phone for phone numbers and - you could contact NAS to get a good referral. All the best Fxx <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
